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!
Denise, this is a bit of a sidetrack, but do you have anybody who can video your swimming? If so, upload it to YouTube and post the link on the Forums on either Ande's threads ("Ask Ande" or "The Freestyle Lane") or on your own thread. There is always somebody, including Julia, who is willing to offer constructive criticism of your stroke and make great suggestions. It's an excellent way to supplement your TI training and other coaching.If you look over the Forum threads at several other video critiques, you will pick up on a lot of great tips and get to the point where you will actually be able to watch videos and spot the flaws yourself. I've posted a bunch of videos over the past four years and have gotten GREAT advice from the best swimmers here. Now, when my husband shoots another video, I don't even have to post it to know what I need to work on. I can watch a video of my breaststroke, for example, and make an educated guess as to what King Frog (Allen Stark) would say about it. I'm getting better at self-coaching through video! :agree:Elaine, I just PM'd Denise on the same topic!
