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 checked the USMS database available through the web, but it was not reporting any times.
Ion and I had a friendly competition at the 2001 LCNs. He nipped me by .05 seconds in the 800 free at 11:20.15. I finished ahead of him in the 200 free; we were both in the 2:30s. It was pretty much the same at 2002 LCNs. That was the last meet we both attended.
I recall in the last few months that he has gotten MUCH better in the 200 free. He did a 200 SCY in either the low 2:00s or the high 1:50s.
Top Ten he is not (and neither am I). Respectable (and opinionated) he is.
