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

Right on ask any coach what he thinks about another coach they will always tell you the truth.
...
Still:
what are Terry Laughlin's credentials?
Compared to hundreds of swimmers and coaches with faster results that validate their opposite methods.
For example the thread I linked has rotary style -in opposition to the Front Quadrant's pause advocated by Total Immersion- in Alex. Popov and Ian Thorpe.
I can also dig a quote about rotary style and kick sets training of Jodie Henry -a gold medalist in 53.52 in the 100 free at the 2004 Athens Olympics- from coach Shannon Rollason.
Please no more Matt's "...Total Immersion...will make you faster and better than you would be swimming your same old..." because that's hermetic and absent minded to news and data posted here for years.
