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

I basically teach Tri guys who have no Idea what to do so I have them pressing through to the thigh, but as they become more accomplished they are told to stop pushing around the groin region, rotate and let the hand come out by lifting the elbow. The hand does end up brushing the thigh.
By pressing through to the thigh they learn to rotate the shoulders. In the beggining I do not talk SR and SL, that comes later.
