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 don't see anywhere in here where Ion ever came anywhere close to a 2:00 200 scy freestyle......I think somewhere around 2:05 - 2:10 would be the best possible scenerio based on the data stored in the USMS database (which has fairly recent results on Ion BTW).

p.s. Geek and Gull would smash Ion like an electric guitar in any freestyle event.....What a popular cliche the guitar smashing metaphor has become thanks to you know who Jr.....LOL!!
Yes we all know who coined that phase back in 2000 and it worked against us in that relay. I was watching that race a couple of weeks ago and when Australia won they were mimicking the strumming of the guitars for everyone to see on TV. In fact, Michael Klim reminded me of Joe Satriani because he was jamming in front of the TV cameras rubbing in the insult.
