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

Wow! Regarding Terry & Lefty's last post:
I was always told by every single coach to finish the stroke completely and push back at the end of the pull.
In fact, it is something I concentrate on.
So, what do I do to get this habit out of my brain?
Also, I agree with Lefty - I'm not clear on how to emphasize both SR and SL. If I understood Terry's post - SR = stroke rate (the faster turnover the better) and SL = stroke length (the fewer the better).
