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

I do once this proof of the value of pre-requisites, as a lesson to learn by posters who write without supportive data and don't do their pre-requisite readings first.
This post is in support of my claim that Total Immersion says to stay away from Masters.
I posted this link in my first post of this thread:
Criticism of TI Principles
as a pre-requisite to discuss on a par.
Two posters here -not you IndyGal, but geochuk and scyfree (formerly 330man)- whine in this thread that reading the pre-requisite is not a loss to them and to the discussion.
I am proving from the link I posted, in the excerpt below, that these two posters post no-good.
They whine about the pre-requisite links that are posted in the thread, but they drag everybody behind in knowledge with their negativity towards education and learning before stating something:

However all this being said there is an arrogance among the purveyors and practitioners of TI. A certain fundamentalist approach that there way is the only way. I used to encourage some swimmers to go to a TI clinic. However after the clinic I found them in the lap lanes with there fist gloves and not coming to master’s practice. Why? They were told in the clinic to avoid master’s workouts,...
