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 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.
Don't be so sure.
I responded to him bragging that he has things to say to me that cannot be printed here.
So I took him to his word.
As for him being world class in the 50s, in his web site he claimed to have swam 54.xx in 100 free Long Course in the 50s.
In a U.K. forum it was pointed out that it would have been much faster than the then World Record.
He re-iterated that it was 54.xx in 100 free Long Course, then under questioning he 'adjusted' it to 100 yards free.
Beware of heroes like this, with no paper trail to back up their grandstanding.
