I just got Total immersion book yesterday.
Have read part 1 of the book and just started doing the drills today.
It seems an excallent way to swim and definatly will improve my f/s.
But i'm a bit weary because it's so comercail. so my question is,
Is Total immersion as good a way to swim as it makes out?
or is it the best way to learn how to swim?
Are there better books out there that teach you how to swim well(properly)?
Hope that makes sense

Here is another thing to consider, by the time she went to the 2004 trials, she was not training under her club coach. In fact, during the 2003-2004 school year, she was a freshman in college. Adjusting to a new coach, new part of the country, etc, etc.
Is that to blame for her not making the team? Seriously doubt it but it could play into how she swam that first year. Esp. if her new coach, made changes to her stroke during that first year.
So, we can sit here and come up with a lot of reasons why she didn't make the team. Fact is, she didn't. Fact is, she has swam super fast using TI methods.
And he is right, TI works well for some, then again, it doesn't work well for others.
