Book Reviews of Total Immersion: The Revolutionary Way To Swim Better, Faster, and Easier
Book Review: This book taught me to swim for a triathlon
Summary: 5 Stars
I always loved the water, but I'd never been taught to swim freestyle and I wanted to compete in a triathlon. I tried going to some Masters swim classes but after months of trying I was still exhausted after only 100 meters, and the 1/2 mile ocean swim looked increasingly impossible. This book, in combination with video clips on the Total Immersion website, taught me how to swim comfortably, with fewer strokes and less exertion than some of the tri-fanatics I trained with. Now I easily swim long distances for fun, breathing comfortably on both sides - and believe me, it never would have happened without this book! I love this book and find myself recommending it frequently to people who ask me for advice at the pool.
