It could have been better
I'm a runner that recently turned to compete also in triathlons, so I've been training freestyle for about 2 years, with coach, following the guides of total immersion (Terry Laughlin). <

>I looked for this DVD trying to complement my knowledge on freestyle. Tom Jager isn't only a great swimmer, but also very good in teaching the 'howtos'. Everything viewed in the DVD is very important and crucial for maintaining an efficient stroke, it doesn't miss any of the basic details about. <

>I learned some drills I never imagined before (which by the way amazed me). Some of the explanations are great, for example regarding water physics, like how to "manage" water with hands, legs, etc, why do we have to keep elbows up (explanations!, not just 'doits'!), so it has been very useful for me in that matters, to understand why do I have to do things how I must. <

>What I didn't like and missed were things apart from Tom Jager: the direction of the video and the team. The video doesn't capture good enough Jager's demos, because the camera is always still; we just see him pass by and look most of the time his feet from the back. To really appreciate his style the camera should have moved along with him (sadly it's a very low budget film). The other thing, about the team, they are kids!, "good swimmers", but I think the best for a class video would have been to put professional swimmers there! (imagine a Jane Fonda's workout video with kids doing the routines, giving them more time than her)... bad idea! If the DVD was intended for coaches only, I would have understood, but it's not. <
