Total Immersion: The Revolutionary Way To Swim Better, Faster, and Easier

Product Information

The real question that needs to be asked is not “How do we create more Super Teachers?” because we have all the Super Teachers we are going to get. Deming shows that rewards and punishments do not create heros. The question we should be asking is “How do we create an education system that allows mediocre teachers to teach students at a high level?” Clearly not by doing what we are doing today. By mastering these principles, you can achieve the sensation of “swimming downhill” and enjoy a more efficient and effortless swim. Ready to give it a shot? If you have a phobia of swimming or just want to feel the difference a few counter-intuitive techniques make, here are some starter tips: By focusing on proper body position, body rotation, and a long, natural stroke, you can reduce resistance in the water and swim more efficiently. With time and practice, you’ll be able to swim with proper technique and reach the sensation of “swimming downhill.” How to “Swim Downhill” with Total Immersion Swimming I do not know if you know how to do flip turns or not. If not then I would recommend learning if at all possible. This goes for anyone who wants to swim for exercise. Not doing flip turns will wear out a swimmer faster than anything else once you start doing longer sets. Even doing sets of 100s you will save tons of energy by doing flip turns. Which will in turn allow you to do longer sets.

Like many folks who read and enjoyed the book, I'd love to find a way to attend one of the author's clinics - my sense is that's he's an excellent coach/teacher. Some of the best video content on Total Immersion Swimming is a series of lectures in which you can not only get to know Terry, but also better understand the ideas behind his approach. Although triathletes are often type-A individuals who find themselves getting into the minutiae of every aspect of the sport, Total Immersion’s simplified approach helps diminish any over-thinking by reinforcing easy-to-adapt habits that help cultivate an efficient swim technique. In short, TI swimming encourages athletes to slow down and focus on improving their technique.I’m delighted with Tim’s newfound interest in swimming and nothing could make me happier than knowing that our approach to swim-improvement played a role in changing his experience from harrowing-and-frustrated to hopeful-and-aspirational. I always tell TI coaches that teaching better stroke technique is their second responsibility. Sparking passion for swimming in their students is their first. Hi Tim, wrt number 8 and short circuiting with two many things to try to remember, one way to handle this is to “sequence your awareness” while you swim. Hand Entry. Slice your hand into the water right about at your goggle line, and drive it forward. Many swimmers attempt to get as much “air time” as possible by reaching the hand out before entering into the water, but it is actually more efficient to go through the water with your hand as you rotate from one side to the other. This is RIDICULOUS, as I have always HATED swimming and avoided it. Now — after one book and DVD— I make time whenever possible to do laps like moving meditation.

By maintaining this position, you reduce “drag” in the water and make it easier to swim efficiently.

The idea behind this is balance. By pushing your upper body and head down into the water, your hips will pop up, creating less drag. As for dissatisfaction with the text, I would say that the introduction to the Total Immersion (TI) program is far longer than it needs to be, and many chapters have far more verbose explanations than are necessary or desirable (I particularly found much of chapter five trying and somewhat off-putting.) Every time I found something vaguely annoying, though, Laughlin redeemed himself with an insight that seemed tailor made for me. We're all different, but I was especially grateful for the discussion of inflexible ankles in adult-onset swimmers (p. 117) and "Special Help for 'Sinkers'" (p. 113,) my two biggest challenges in the pool. In short, while the text is sometimes excessively lengthy, if you can concentrate on the truly important passages the book can be exceptionally helpful. Aber der Inhalt! Hier geht es um nicht weniger als darum, Schwimmtechnik und Strömungsphysik zu verheiraten. Mit einem phänomenalen Ergebnis. Wer wie ich seit 30 Jahren schwimmt, hat viel probiert, um die Technik zu optimieren und die Geschwindigkeit zu verbessern. Dieses Buch hilft Ihnen dabei, die entscheidenden Größen zu erkennen, deren Optimierung Sie schneller machen werden: der Wasserwiederstand des Körpers, die Länge des Armzuges und die Ökonomie des Krafteinsatzes. There was a lot of crossover concepts from improving in sports and swimming, which makes sense considering that swimming has more technique that meets the eye.With the Total Immersion Method, you can conserve your energy and glide through the water. As a result, you are still getting a fantastic workout, but without all the splashing and exhaustion. In addition to balance, other drills teach how to coordinate the appropriate muscle groups together to get the maximum amount of distance from each stroke. I practiced each drill until I could achieve it consistently and then moved on to the next. After five months, I've just made it to the tenth drill. The tenth drill is where all the previous drills start coming together and I feel like I am actually swimming. By actively pressing my head into the water, my legs popped up, making me flatter in the water. This removed all the drag my legs were creating, effectively dragging me down in the water. Gents, don’t swim in board shorts. I tried this in Brazil and didn’t realize it’s like swimming with a parachute behind you. Terrible. Get some Euro-style Speedos and streamline. Be cool on the beach and opt for efficiency in the water.
