Total Immersion - Anyone used the program?

[finallykrisb]

Anyone have a review?  Love it?  Hate it?

It's supposed to be really good!

My masters coach is a TI guy & I've seen major, major improvements in my swimming.

The price tag is steep on the 6 hour seminar (or 6 hour long lessons) but I think I'll read the book, check out the DVD's and maybe justify at least one session.

I'm not trained officially, but I've read the books and watched the videos. It's a great method, especially for adults. I'd do it in a heartbeat if they hosted a session here.

I have at least one of the videos, it's helped me.

I've read the book, and it had a lot of great tips. If I had the cash, I'd take the course!

I was thinking about checking this out, too. I'm wondering if the book or a video would be more helpful.

The swim clinic I went to a few months ago knocked it - she said it was a very passive program and that you wouldn't swim "like a real swimmer" with it.

But, I've never used it and only flipped through the book, so I have no idea how accurate or not accurate the program is. My impression is that it's supposed to be designed to conserve your energy for the other two legs of the race.

Of course she did. She wants people to come to her clinics, not Total Immersion clinics.

If you are swimming, aren't you a real swimmer?

I read the book and found it really helpful
