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

Last year at the Santa Clara Swim Club Invitational I was amazed when I saw Phelps performing his stretch on the blocks. He slams his arms across each other, slapping himself on the back. I can't imagine that this is beneficial to shoulder health. Elite swimmers are fast but their methods are not always the best route for longetivity.
