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

It's all well and good to praise Murray Stevens and Doug Frost, and if either suddenly offered a clinic for average swimmers I'd be first in line to sign up...
I read in Swimming News magazine that Murray Stevens coaches Masters too, at N.B.A.C. in Maryland.
He has genuinely consistently built over decades a factory of fast swimmers and knowledgeable coaches like Bowman and Yetter.

Good news folks, he won't be around much longer. Anticipate early bloomer and immigrant discussions in the next few posts. It's predictable.
And your contribution to swimming information is?

I don't know why any one would want to read those old items...
To catch up in learning and discuss on a par, maybe?
The links are posted for this purpose, anyway.

Sure.
Talk technical data.

Getting you so fired up that you start to shimy, shake and take on dorothyde in the 500, and LOSE.
Not to mention the inevitable immigrant thing you bring up in every single thread, bar none.
It's like chuming the waters, so easy, yet so fun.
I still don't see swimming data from you about the merits of Total Immersion.
I see that you try hard to make your posts into personal attacks.
You have no swimming data and contribution on Total Immersion -or anything else in swimming-.

I am afraid that not much you say has anything to do with technical data.
That's what happens when my data is beyond you.
Like the rotary style and its results of fast swimming.
In contrast to Front Quadrant's pause in Total Immersion.
And more.
