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 Swifty

  • It would be completely nonsensical for TI to discouage folks from swimming in a Masters program. First, it's the only national "league" for adult swimmers beyond the glory of speedy youth (with the exception of a few great swimmers such as Smith and Lehman, who could probably still beat 99% of the kids out there). Second, it's a social network where people can promote TI, should they find it useful to them. I'm not sure why TI gets folks so riled up. It's just a training program, albeit with a slight chip implantation.
