Eddie Reese 1992, 1996, 2000, and 2004 United States Olympic Coach and Head Coach, University of Texas (six-time NCAA champions) The most valuable service a good coach provides is to sharpen your technique, not make you work harder. Terry Laughlin has done an outstanding job of simplifying that complex job, providing practical tools that will work for any coach or teacher.David Marsh 1996, 2000, and 2004 United States Olympic Coach and Head Coach, Auburn University (2003 NCAA Men's and Women's champions) Total Immersion can help anyone learn to be a better swimmer, regardless of ability. Terry Laughlin makes an improved stroke simple for the novice, yet I've seen his methods work for elite swimmers, too.

I bought this book based on the number of positive reviews and the authors credentials. I mainly bought it to become a BETTER swimmer in general. While the book does have a TON of helpful advice, great drills, and is fairly easy to understand and implement, I found for ME personally, I absorb a lot more and can comprehend a lot more if ideas and techniques are presented with PICTURES. This book has about 15 total, crude,and unhelpful (to me) drawings. For a sport that takes a LOT of instruction such as swimming and emphisises strict form, I was thinking there would be a TON of pictures indicating arm placement, kick types, head placement, etc...you know, SWIMMING TECHNIQUE. If you are more of a visual learner, I would NOT recommend this book. After I bought this I bought "Swimming Anatomy," by Ian McCloud which I found more helpful as far as picutures go.However, if you already have a good understanding of swimming structure and/or are fine with visulizing and do well just by reading, then this book as a lot of information that is helpful.Hope this helps those who are more visual learners like myself!

Please understand, I'm rating the book here, not the swimming method. Understand also that I'm old, a senior who led an active outdoor life until my knees gave out, and I washed up into the backwater of swimming and kayaking, all that remains for the older athlete when your legs give out. There are a lot of similarities between TI swimming and kayaking, as both are somewhat concerned with a principle of that naval architects call "hull speed." Conceptually, the idea of hull speed has been known since ancient times, although modern mathematical formulae can define it precisely. It's simple: All else being equal, long slender ships go faster than shorter, wider ones. If you want to go faster with the same human propulsion engine, you either make your boat longer or you make the beam (the width) narrower. In TI swimming, you increase speed and glide by shaping your body into a longer hull by keeping one arm (alternatingly) extended, and you reduce your beam (width) in the water by swimming on your side. You use body torsioning for propulsion as well as arm motion, and you don't kick a lot because kicking disturbs the smooth flow of water around the body hull. Essentially, in TI swimming, you make your body into a sleek kayak hull, and by smoothly separating the water column in front of you, and smoothly bringing it back together again behind you, you get more "slippery" and thus achieve higher hull speed. And you don't splash or cause water turbulence that slows you down.I first heard of TI swimming from an Australisn woman in a hostel in British Columbia. She took 20 minutes to describe it to me, and it improved my swimming efficiency immensely the same day. Then I bought the Kindle edition of the TI instruction book, and my progress stalled immediately. Words, words, words! Notwithstanding what other reviewers have said, the book is hortatory to excess in wanting to convert those already converted, it lacks photographs, drawings and other illustrations to "show" you visually what's going on. It relies on the minutiae of "coach talk" (although professing to do the opposite!) for every description, and speaks excessively of "training" and "drills," which may appeal to a certain class of competitive athlete interested in winning races, but leaves me dead on arrival.Without illustrations, the book is sheer drudgery to read. I return to it now and again as ritual penance for perceived wrongdoing, and each time I return to it, I find myself bored to death and wanting to review it on Amazon to warn others like me that the method is good, but the writing of the book is just plain bad. A competitive swimmer or triathlete would understandably disagree because coaching, training, drills and dedication may be music to his ears. I've had the book a year now, and haven't been able to finish it. I watched every TI video on YouTube and even bought one of the TI videos on "breathing" (worthless, same criticism as of the book) and just by watching the YouTube videos, I've been able to master some of the techniques. I like the method; it's good, but I understand it simply as good naval architecture designed to increase hull speed. It works. It's graceful and quiet. But TI needs to hire a professional technical writer to rewrite a version with illustrations for the common man who isn't a competitive swimmer or triathlete, and who isn't interested in personal bests or races, a version for somebody who just wants to learn from good pictures and illustrations with well-designed, descriptive captions, and wants to swim effortlessly and gracefully in a noncompetitive world of his own.

Not being able to swim for most of my adult life, was daunting at me a little, so I subscribed to a local Bally Sports Club and bought this book. After 3-4 months of doing exercises from it, I decided to give it a go - and I didn't sink! Of course it wasn't Michael Phelps' quality swimming, but I was going from one side of the pool to the other several times. With time, it got better and now I can proudly say that I am a decent swimmer. Thank you Terri. Maybe one day I'll visit Terry's seminar for a face to face, but until then, I'm very happy!

I'm not going to lie, I can swim, but I suck meaning I splash like crazy and really look stupid. I started using the immersion system a while back and I would have to say that it's taught me to swim way much better and can last way much longer. I am not like Olympic swimmer great b/c that's absurd, but I do swim a lot better and also, the most important thing is that I enjoy swimming now.

This review is for the kindle version.Pros: this book seems to focus mainly on "why" you should change your mindset and approach to swimming and treat swimming as a skill.Cons: the execution and "how to" is where this book falls flat. There are no chapter summaries of the drills. Instead, I find myself reading, re-reading, and re-reading paragraphs again, just to understand what are the details of the drill to take note of. For the first three drills, I kept re-reading to try to understand what the "water in the corner of the googles" meant... but I still haven't discovered it :( It would have been great if there were just bullet point summary of each drill and which physical cues to dial into.I'm sure the method has its merits, and I actually found the online videos quite helpful. I imagine the video instructional would be much more beneficial.Summary: Buy this book if you want to be convinced why you should approach swimming as a skill rather than a workout. If you're already convinced of this and actually want to learn, I would suggest using other (perhaps video) learning materials.
