I had profound weakness and was prescribed a beta blocker at the time. It definitely is not right for exercising. Beta blockers work by keeping your heart rate low. This is bad; you want it to go up when you exercise. Ask your doctor to prescribe something else. Mine did and I swim a lot now.

Ask your Dr about the drugs you take. Beta blockers, for instance, are notorious for making you sluggish.

I think a coach or instruction would help. Having someone who can can give you feedback as to body position and drills to strengthen the weaker portions of your strokes should help. I do not know enough about total immersion to say one way or the other, but any input should help. Good luck!
