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!
He was pointing out his reasons for not liking online coaching and the reasons why. He wasn't stirring anything up, just pointing out why to be cautious of paying for someone that may never have seen you swim.
If you would like to see Geek be impolite to someone, you should see how he talks to me. :-)
As I mentioned earlier, I post on this forum based on my experience as a USMS swimmer and coach. In this thread, I never mentioned my program nor did I attempt to invalidate or call into question other programs. Despite this, it appears that others have chosen to call my program out by name and question its legitimacy. The customized workouts were specifically mentioned in the previous post. Unfortunately, the poster obviously did not do enough research or s/he would have discovered that Swimspire does not write random workouts; rather I request that clients submit videos of their swimming if I am unable to meet with them in person. I analyze their technique, and provide workouts that are specifically geared towards correcting their technique and increasing their strength and speed. I also provide instructional videos that subscribers can watch, and I offer the possibility of an online stroke analysis. I also offer on-deck coaching, locally.
I think Denise made great points in her previous post, and we would do well to return to the spirit of the original poster's question.
