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

Always long course, we did not swim the fifty meters it was a split on the way to my 54.6 100 meter time. Which was my best time...

and this is in between 1952 Olympics -with Clarke Scholes (U.S.) winner in 57.4-, and the 1956 Olympics -with Jon Hendricks (Aus.) winner in 55.4, a new Olympic Record-.
While George's alleged 54.6 is almost a second faster than Hendricks's future Olympic Record.
It seems to me to be a case of the older we are, the faster we were, of "Wait until my knee heels and I will show" and of there is no point to do yardage to improve one's athleticism because doing yardage is garbage.
