I've started a series of sessions with a Total Immersion coach.
I know nothing about TI. I chose the Coach b ecause I know her from another environment and trust her. The triathletes I do some swimming with all recommend her.
I'm 57, I haven't had any swimming lessons since 8th grade, and I swim S-L-O-W-W-W (40 minute miles). I imagine these sessions will do me good, regardless either way of the virtues of TI.
I'm curious about strengths and weakness of TI.
Apologies if this has been overdiscussed here in the past.
If you like doing many swim progressions and drills you will appreciate the program. In my opinion the best thing to do would be to put all swim workouts on hold and just do the drills and progressions till your stroke is acceptable. Once you have an adequate freestyle you could use the drills as part of your daily pre workout warm-up to ensure your muscle memory lasts and you don't lapse back to your previous bad habits.
