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 Swifty

Hit an alarming weight of 224 in April 2003 and have since dropped to 200. My goal is to be around 180 by the summer. As part of the program I avoid high-calorie beverages, so I drink only water and seltzer, except for that weekly indulgence in a glass of wine. I never enjoyed beer all that much anyway and have never had a taste for liquor. I honestly do get my buzz and relaxation from swimming. Terry I only drink when I am Mexico, Do you mean if I stop consuming those beverages I can get my weight down from the 270 I was in that video.
