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

...when I found out the masters club you swim for, I could not see how with your opinion about TI, you could stay with that club that is so TI.
Swim Smarter has elements of Total Immersion in it, and has differences.
I think things over.
In another club in San Diego -who has 28 year old Nicholas Kintz from France as a new coach (a 4x100 free and 4x200 free Olympian in 2000 and 2004)-, coach Allison Terry -a #9 in the 50 meter free at the 2000 U.S. Olympic Trials- tells me to not finish my pull, to get the pulling arm out of the water before the end of the pull in order to increase my Stroke Rate, the way she does it.
Contrary to Total Immersion.
