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

To rhink that swimmers should take their cues only from what elite swimmers do would be just as unreasonable.
But that's just me:
I use whatever works, and elite swimming is a reference to whatever works.
In fact I despise whatever doesn't work, and I consider whatever doesn't work as a penalty for corruption and wishful short cuts:
the only difference between age group swimming and adult swimming is in physiology;
the integrity of getting fast in adulthood is the same as in age group swimming.
