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

One of the things I most enjoy about swimming in Masters is learning from some of my older teammates. And, it's equally impressive to realize many of them compete with swimmers half their ages at times. To sit on this forum and attempt to belittle the accomplishments of someone 30 years your senior, with impressive results regardless of the decade, is just flat out silly and there's absolutely nothing to be accomplished by it.
Of course, I guess it's somewhat of an accomplishment that he's no longer comparing his times to women anymore.
I'm headed to Mexico in a few weeks myself, wife and kids in tow. Strong possibility of tequila sampling, I'd put odds at 100%.
Nicely put. Enjoy your vacation.
