Hi all,
I am going to change my tag to "oh-no-not-her-again! maybe-if-she-spent-more-time-in-water-and-less-time-asking-stupid-questions..."
Anyhoo, I am looking for info on the Total Immersion swimming program. I have now been swimming for a grand total of six weeks and I want to be better. I have maxed out my YWCA instructor's abilities. (She only knows two strokes! OMG! If you don't have anything nice to say... No, that is not nice of me. I DO appreciate the two strokes I did learn from her. I am swimming now and that is great.)
That being said, while I have fleeting moments where I feel streamlined and graceful, most of the time I feel like I am dragging myself through the water. The Total Immersion method sounded like music to my ears.
Has anyone done it? Did you like it? Was it helpful? Is it worth the $? Is it too early for me to try something like that? There is a program coming up near me in a few weeks and I am thinking about it.
Thanks again. The info I get here is great!

To get help when you don't have the time, money, or whatever to go to a clinic you may be able to find one in you area that can help you. I teach private lessons in TI and I am sure there are others. Go to the TI website http://www.totalimmersion.net and look under the heading "Find a Coach". There are some in Massachusetts.
I know I do anywhere from once weekly to once every three or four weeks and act as a third eye for self taught by the book/video swimmers, ones who never swam before, or ones just wanting to improve their technique.
