This review is from: Total Immersion Swimming: Perpetual Motion Free (DVD)
The content of the video is great but don't expect quality video and sound. Good value for those wanting an introduction to Total Immersion swimming.

Best money I ever spent on a DVD,

This review is from: Total Immersion Swimming: Perpetual Motion Free (DVD)
This DVD has completely transformed my swimming. I'm 42 years old, in decent shape but not an athlete. Back in October I took up swimming after a running injury. My first time out, I struggled to swim just a few laps, was gasping for air, and even panicked mid pool. Based on Internet recommendations, I got this DVD. Within two weeks I was swimming 30 minutes at a time without struggle. Now it's the end of January, and this evening I swam 1.25 miles with only a few stops, without struggle or fatigue. This DVD has completely transformed my swimming. It's the best $36 I ever spent. I went from hating swimming to loving it.

This review is from: Total Immersion Swimming: Perpetual Motion Free (DVD)
I got this video because the ideas behind it spoke to my problems. I'm in pretty good shape, took some traditional swim lessons, then couldn't figure out why I got exhausted after only 50 yards of swimming. Total Immersion is not only a radically different method of teaching, it's based on a radically different understanding of where the propulsive power of freestyle swimming comes from: i.e., from the core muscles, rather than the arms and legs. The exercises in the video are clearly explained and justified, well suited for self-study at your own pace.I do see one fault with this video: although it covers all the exercises you need in order to do the freestyle well and with minimumn energy, it does not make clear the difference in some cases between what you do during the drills and what you do when you actually swim. I would also note that people learn at different paces. For some, this method immediately "unlocks" the secret of effortless, long-distance swimming. For others (me, for example), the road will be longer and will require more patient drilling, particularly to attain the balance in the water that is the essential prerequisite to swimming effortlessly. I think any swimmer should be able to benefit from this video, particularly if your learning method is oriented toward patient, focused practice of technique. 23 of 23 people found the following review helpful

Great DVD for Freestyle Swimming,

This review is from: Total Immersion Swimming: Perpetual Motion Free (DVD)
I could not swim freestyle and as a new year resolution, I decided to learn this skill. I ordered this DVD at the end of January, and after a little over a month, I am able to swim across 25 yard pool in 18-19 strokes. I feel I am gliding through water with ease. I am a 5 foot 5 middle aged female and not athletic at all, so if I can learn, everybody can.I watched every lesson carefully and took notes. Then I memorized it and practiced in the pool. I just finished the final lesson, which is two beat kick. It took me several trips to the pool to finally got it. This DVD is not shot using endless pool, and is very clear. Terry did a great job demonstrating movements. |
