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

One of the greatest long distance swimmers who ever lived. Abou was a great swimmer, I had heard that he is very sick and was in touch with his son, a race car driver he was also very sick, but now when I try to reach them my emails end nowhere. When Abou and his wife came to our house he would grab my daughter Linda and dance all over the living room with her and at the races he would take Linda for walks and tell everybody that this is George's little Linda he said Linda in Arabic ment Beautiful One. He sure could eat in Rhode Island they paid for our food at a resturant and after a couple of days they cancelled the right to order our own food as Abou would order three steaks for breakfast, lunch and supper. They gave us food vouchers after that.
