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

Got a chance swim with Nic Brunelli today (he coaches a couple of practices for Sun Devil Masters) which happened to be a recovery day and was a series of drills leading up to the following set done twice:
4 x 25s drill @ :40
4 x 50s "golf" @ 1:00
1 x 200 holding golf score of the 200
Nic was holding 8 strokes a lap and dropped from :29 to :26 on the 50s, then went about 1:55 on the 200....with a HR of about 120 I'd guess (he was lapping people in his lane and not pushing it).
Some interesting discussions with him about SR/SL, these types of workouts relative to race distance, etc. etc.
Would love to share with everyone but I'll be keeping for myself! :)
By the way, Nic's pretty fast....seems like this type of training works OK for him.
