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

No.
The thread I linked has many issues -like pause in the leading arm in freestyle, neglect of Stroke Rate, discarding of kicking sets- that Total Immersion advocates and me I counter that they make a swimmer slower.
My counter arguments there remain undisputed.
There was a time in that thread to dispute my counter arguments.
Technically they remain undisputed.
Matt's post skips over these counter arguments and starts over again a new promotion of Total Immersion, from level zero.
Like no exchange of ideas and learning ever took place.
