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

Aquageek,
Art Augnst talks in some detail about using TI principles to train his HS girls team in Long Strokes in a Short Season . Please note that the HS events have only 3 individual races over 100 yards (200 free, 200 IM, 500 free), and all the relay legs are 50 or 100 yards. Most of us would consider this sprint training.
There is an excerpt from the book at the TI website here: www.totalimmersion.net/free-books.html
All the way at the bottom of the page, just below the review of the book. The links are labeled Excerpt 1, Excerpt 2, & (surprise, surprise) Excerpt 3. You may find Excerpt 1 particularly relevant.
