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 would define fast as En3 or race pace. Obviously this will depend on the individual's anaerobic threshold as well as the race he or she is training for. One of the reasons coaches like Mike Bottom use sprint assisted training is to give swimmers a feel for what it is like to move through the water at a very fast pace.
