Successful TI Swimmer

At the risk of touching off another flame war... Please let the record reflect that Adrienne Binder, a self described Total Immersion swimmer, posted the following results at NCAA Div. I Championships: 1650 Free - 15:57.64 3rd georgiadogs.collegesports.com/.../060316F015.htm 400 IM - 4:11.83 4th georgiadogs.collegesports.com/.../060316F008.htm 500 Free - 4:41.99 4th georgiadogs.collegesports.com/.../060316F002.htm Acknowledging the caveat that she is a Junior at Auburn Univ. and therefore has been swimming in their program for three years and therefore is not a "pure" TI swimmer (to the extent the results of any swimmer can be purely attributed to one coach, program or school of technique and training). This pretty clearly demonstrates that it is possible to "succeed" at the highest levels of competition while using TI principles. This is not to say that everyone will "succeed" using TI, or that everyone can "succeed" using TI, or indeed that TI necessarily has value for everyone. However, we ain't the ones hollering "Show me a world class TI swimmer!" Well, there you have it. Matt
