Recommended Posts

Hi all hubbers.I have decided to take the plunge and work on my swim this winter.I see that Total Immersion swimming has a workshop in my area in about 2 weeks time.Has anyone here have feedback as to whether its worth it.I am a selftaught swimmer who has never been coached in swimming.I can currently swim 3,2 km in about 62 min while swimming well within myself.Any ideas would be appreciated

Very good system for improving body position and minimizing drag, however often see people who having gone through this with an overly slow stroke rate and "overgliding". Like all things I suppose pro's and cons, but certainly does seem to work for a number of people.

improved my swim radically, from being a swim back-marker to a mid-field swimmer...

I bought the book and video worked a treat. If you do the course you can do a-z in a weekend. I swim in the top 25% of any pack. Before TI this was not true.

FWIW, I had never done a swim on 1 Jan this year, and with only 8 coached sessions I managed a 1.9km swim on 8 Feb. No doubt that the coaching was valuable, be it traditional or immersion.

@Reteid, sometime has passed, how did you find the course, and how have you found your swimming?

That sucks.

Poor business ethic and management.

How are you supposed to grow, if they cant answer simple queries.

 

Care to share your youtube links?
