FREESTYLE MADE EASY - THE TOTAL IMMERSION SYSTEM

Total Immersion: Freestyle Made Easy illustrates everything about freestyle swimming - how to kick efficiently; every part of the stroke - entry, catch, finish, exit and recovery; how to breathe - in the pool and in open water; and how to do both the relaxing open turn and the fast flip turn. To allow you to study all of this carefully, the DVD uses more views (surface, underwater, front, and directly overhead), more slow-motion and more stop action than any DVD produced before. Since 1989, Total Immersion Swimming has become a phenomenon among improvement-minded swimmers - the first program in the history of swimming instruction with "raving fans." TI has become so popular because it is simpler than any alternative; it works with unprecedented dependability and it makes swimming enjoyable and deeply satisfying. Freestyle Made Easy provides the whole picture on smart Freestyle.

From the Actor
The puzzle of how to make swimming easier and more enjoyable to master is still deeply fascinating to me and I consider myself incredibly fortunate that, over 30 years after I began coaching, I still wake up every morning excited about teaching and coaching swimmers. Fortunately our students have provided us with a constant stream of new questions and challenges for which the TI process always offers solutions. The essential lesson we've learned is that a human body moving through water always retains the same properties and is subject to the same physical laws, no matter whether your goal is basic learning, high level performance or wellness/therapy.

This means there can be a unified logical thread for every possible form of teaching or coaching. From a 5 year old child's first lesson, to the coaching that can help a swimmer win an Olympic medal, to guiding a 75-year old through a swimming-therapy program, the principles will all be the same. Total Immersion's mission today is to disseminate knowledge of those principles as widely as we can, so that all swimmers can have better experiences and outcomes.

HELPFUL SWIMMING VIDEO
I read the book first and felt like I needed to see the drills demonstrated in action. The video makes a good complement to the book. I feel that you need both to benefit from the system. I think that my swimming has become more effortless as a result of the system, and hope that my speed will pick up with practice. I am recommending the Total Immersion system to my friends that are also beginning triathletes.

I think that it works
I bought the book and the DVD. It actualy works. I am doing the drills for about a month now (4 times per week - 40 minutes each time) and I can see the difference. I'm still struggling with combining strokes and kicks and with breathing while swimming but it seems that the more I practice the better it gets.

From fighting to flowing...
If you are a novice swimmer, this is really helpful. I was fighting the water while swimming, windmilling my arms, and kicking like crazy. I could barely finish a 300 meter swim, even with rests. After a few weeks, I am swimming over 700 meters and improving my time and endurance each day I practice.
