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!

I swam in high school and college .
I started swimming again 13 years ago at age 37.
I took a one day TI class in 1994 and found it very helpful. I am
swimming as fast now as I did 10 years ago primarily
because my stroke is better now than then.
I think newcomers would benefit greatly from TI in that it is easier
to properly learn a new stroke from the get-go than undo a poor stroke later.
