I was wondering what you guys think of the books: "Fitness swimming" by Emmett Hines and "Total immersion" Terry Laughlin.Somewher I ran into an opinoin that "T.I." is just the "rephrase" version of the "F.S.", i.e. pretty much the same stuf, just put into different words.So, based on that I just ordered the "F.S."Any feedback on both the books?Any positive results from learning through the two books?
Thanks.

I just bought Total Immersion (revised and updated 2004) and am half way through it. It is the first swimming book I have read that provides clear descriptions of how "correct" freestyle swimming should feel. I like they way the author explains the logic behind the technique and then develops that into a series of understandable drills and provides a practical method of measuring their impact (e.g. strokes per lap). I am keen to start trying the drills to see whether they make a difference.
I will also look out for Emmet's book.
