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!
Well said, Sojerz! I definitely agree with your analysis.
Also, to reply to Debugger's comment, the stopwatch may not be the only factor that you should use to determine the value of a swimming program, at least initially. If a stroke analysis reveals weaknesses in the swimmer's technique, implementing a newer and more efficient style of swimming may save him from future injuries, which could be worth an initial decline in performance. As the swimmer adjusts to the new stroke, and incorporates speed work into his routine, he will likely see improvement over the long-term. If he does not see any improvement, then of course he may want to reevaluate his progress with the swimming program he has chosen.
