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

Another swimmer for your reference. He is different because he is a sprinter. Joe Novak finished 10th place in the 1998 Nationals in the 50 Meter Free at :23.40 and 14th place in the 100 Meter Fly, unsure of the time. He swam for West Point and had personal bests of :20.12 and :44.10 in the 50 and 100 Yard Free.
