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

Indygal is correct. TI has never discouraged any from joining a master's team.
What people are told at workshops to step away from a masters team for a bit to concentrate on developing the skills they spent the weekend learning.
The concern for newer swimmers or swimmers that struggle, is that after a workshop, if they go right back to their teams, they will fall back into their old habits and wasted their weekend and money.
After they have spent sometime away, learning the drill progession and convert over to swimming, then they are encouraged to go back and swim with their teams.
