I am 68, former triathlete, current swimmer/runner. I am learning about Total Immersion technique of swimming. Forget arm stroking, learn to roll and stretch. I have had no formal instruction. Is there anyone who can tell me this is going to improve my times?:afraid:

I would not count on TI alone.
My brother-in-law, who wants to swim faster for triathlon, bought the TI dvds and was showing them to my husband and I. We were cringing at some of the things we saw. While we tried to pick out the positives, we were really surprised at some of the advice in this.
If you do go with TI try to watch it with an experienced swimmer or coach.
TI is not just a couple of dvd's, but a network of professional coaches and swimmers. the books and dvd's are a part that many have found to be useful either as pre-camp introductions or post-camp reminders. others have made great improvements to their strokes with said visual aids and the careful eyes of a swim partner.
i'm not sure what could have made you cringe. care to elaborate?
