Customer Reviews of Total Immersion : A Revolutionary Way To Swim Better And Faster

Based upon his years of swimming himself and coaching experience, he explains really simply how we can swim faster and more efficiently with less effort. The book is filled with drills, breaking down different parts of swimming to easy and memorable chunks so that you can practice effectively.

I recommend this book to anyone who wants to improve. After going through even just the first few chapters, my distance before I got tired increased tenfold, yet the effort I was putting in was half of what I had been doing. Buy this book, you won't be sorry.

Bad technique = frustrated swimmer
What a useful book! I was a swimmer in the 70's and decided to start swimming again to rehab my broken ankles. BEFORE I started doing the drills I swam for 15 minutes to test my fitness--I swam 6 laps. A month of drills and my lap counter reached 12.

This is my second month of drills and I can tell that my body is gliding easier over the surface. It's still not a perfect technique but the drills have made for much more enjoyable workouts. The goal is to swim effortlessly.

I wish they had color pictures with arrow indicators pointing to the key areas of the body to concentrate on a particular drill. I'd recommend that you get the Total Immersion video for freestyle to complement the book.

the book and its drills are obsolete
The total immersion website explains why. There is also a review dated May 12, 2003 which indicates the same. Don't buy this book.
There is a new book (it has new drills).
