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!

A stopwatch is the best judge on this. All improvements should pass this test. My teammate got excited on TI too. His stroke became smoother he started to swim longer distances, improved endurance, but... his time on 50 LCM free became 3 sec. worse. Considering that 50m free is his main event I cannot call all mentioned above as improvements, not from the competitive perspective.
Did your teammate continue to train for sprints, while swimming longer distances?
