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

George this is a message board and my question is well in line. We post on here for the exchange of ideas. When people ask me to critique their strokes I can better answer them if I understand the principles behind "spearing." I want my hands pointing to the bottom of the pool as soon as possible (in the stroke) because the more perpendicular your hand is to the bottom of the pool the more water you pull. It would seem to me that "spearing" is counter-productive. But my mind is open and I want to learn.
