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

Can't we all agree to disagree and move on. This is about as tiring to read as the VO2 Max discussion.
Let me summarize:
Many swimmers don't like TI because of claims that seem to be a bit extreme to say the least. Many swimmers like TI because it has made them better at their sport.
One thing in common? We are all swimmers. I don't like certain coaches and like others. Isn't that the same argument?
Just because a coach makes claims that I may not agree with or even not believe doesn't mean someone else should/will have the same OPINION as I do. We are all entitled to our own opinions and that is that.
I thought we went off the deep end (notice the swimming pun) when Ion threatened a swimmer that was competing on a world class level in the 1950's. Now that was funny?! Now it has devolved into another drab I said this you said that discussion.
