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

For all the debate, no one has addressed the fact that there is no real alternative to TI for most of their students. It's all well and good to praise Murray Stevens and Doug Frost, and if either suddenly offered a clinic for average swimmers I'd be first in line to sign up... heck, they could name their price, charge double what TI does. But they are not going to work with me, now are they? I subscribe to all the swimming magazines and I have seen loads of ads for swim camps and clinics for elite swimmers, but so far TI is the only one who has stepped up to the intermediate-swimmer market.
