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

When we are discussing training styles, what are the widely known alternatives to TI (besides "max yardage, conditioning" type practices)?
TI provides a common starting point. We know it works at least at the "can change bad, to decent or good swimmer" level, so it has some merit. (I do not want to get sucked into pointless arguments of "how good".)
So what are the alternatives that are widely known? And I don't mean "swim hard but still work on technique", because that tells you a goal, but not how to get there.
