What do you think of total immersion?

The only thing I know is that a lot of people are buying what Terry has to sell than even considering whatever you are trying to sell. I don't have any proof or technical data on this but believe it to be true.

So what if people are buying? The earth is flat, was popular too. But the idea of the flat earth didn't work well.

Gentlemen, The personal attacks on this thread need to stop now. It is fine for you to disagree with each other's position, but let's keep the discussion about TI and not other topics. If you are unable to do this, I will need to shut down this thread and several of you will lose your priviledges to post here. Mark Gill USMS Vice President of Member Services

Very technical the world is round we should all swim in circles.

Sorry Gill I will no longer reply to any posts that are not technical.

Originally posted by IndyGal Did you mean to address this to me? I am responding to this to prove that I am a poster here who writes with supportive data and with links that are a pre-requisite to discuss on a par. I do once this proof of the value of pre-requisites, as a lesson to learn by posters who write without supportive data and don't do their pre-requisite readings first. This post is in support of my claim that Total Immersion says to stay away from Masters. I posted this link in my first post of this thread: Criticism of TI Principles as a pre-requisite to discuss on a par. Two posters here -not you IndyGal, but geochuk and scyfree (formerly 330man)- whine in this thread that reading the pre-requisite is not a loss to them and to the discussion. I am proving from the link I posted, in the excerpt below, that these two posters post no-good. They whine about the pre-requisite links that are posted in the thread, but they drag everybody behind in knowledge with their negativity towards education and learning before stating something: -note my italics- Originally posted by Ken Classen ... However all this being said there is an arrogance among the purveyors and practitioners of TI. A certain fundamentalist approach that there way is the only way. I used to encourage some swimmers to go to a TI clinic. However after the clinic I found them in the lap lanes with there fist gloves and not coming to master’s practice. Why? They were told in the clinic to avoid master’s workouts,... ...

Anyhow, one persons opinion of TI is hardly justification for you to say that Terry talked "smack" about Olympians or that he advises swimmers to avoid Masters groups. I am still waiting for some verifiable proof that these things actually occured.

I proved you didn't read the pre-requisite that I linked, first things first before posting. There are numerous examples. Originally posted by scyfreestyler ...TI is hardly justification for you to say that Terry talked "smack" about Olympians... More reason to you to do your pre-requisite homework readings, first. First, as in reading and learning the pre-requisites linked before you post.

Ion, You know which parts of the thread contain the information to support your case, allegedly. Why don't you pull them out? Copy and paste them perhaps. The current method being employed seems fishy. Whenever I know of specific evidence to support my position I am the first one to present it, not make people dig to find it. To each his own.
