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.

TI has come up a few times; the responses in this thread are exemplary of the range of responses, I think. I took a TI freestyle class and it saved me.
Terry Laughlin (who also posts in these forums) has his own web site, www.totalimmersion.net.
There are forums with questions and technique discussions, as well as Terry's blog.
I got his latest backstroke DVD and found it helpful. Also, it features Dave Barra, Triple Crown swimmer, as one of the demonstrators. That was a nice touch.
