Total Immersion: Are the workshops worth it?

Hi, Have been a masters swimmer for about 5 years now. Was wondering if experienced masters swimmers (or even newer ones) have found any benefits in the 'total immersion' technique. Have watched several YouTube videos and read articles but was thinking the video evaluation and pool instruction included in the workshop might be helpful. Have noticed recently that my form/technique seem off and ineffective - was looking for some new insight and direction to help me with my efficiency. Thanks!

  • thewookie, have you taken a TI workshop? I'd be interested in your thoughts if you have. And which coaches you liked best. Also, if you felt it helped you improve. The same people seem to teach the workshops in New York, which are the ones closest to me. I'm intrigued because the way Terry Laughlin explains it, TI teaches a different way of moving through the water entirely. From comments I've seen online, some people really like it and say it's helped them a lot. Others not much. It probably isn't for everyone. I haven't heard of a masters coach nearby who uses it. I've emailed one of TI's local coaches for some private lessons.
