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

    Are SR and SL mutually exclusive? In other words, if your drills/method are designed to emphasize one, are you automatically hindering the other? Without anything but personal evidense I am certain that the most power in the pull comes when you slightly rotate your core in conjuction with your pull - swimming flat without body rotation prohibits this. Whoever transfer the most power from their core into their stroke swims the fastest.
