Product Description
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. 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.

4 out of 5 stars HELPFUL SWIMMING VIDEO   September 30, 2008
Rando Summer (Lancaster, PA)
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.


4 out of 5 stars I think that it works   September 5, 2008
al74 (Boston, MA USA)
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.


4 out of 5 stars From fighting to flowing...   September 5, 2008
Mitchell (Arlington, VA)
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.


4 out of 5 stars great DVD, great instruction, but I'm grumpy   July 11, 2008

First, yes, I echo what the other positive reviews have said. Music is cheesy, production is cheap-ish, examples are very clear and immediately useful, provides the clarity that the Total Immersion book doesn't.

But really, I should not have had to get 1/3 of the way through the book before finding that I needed a $40 DVD (or, alternatively, a $500 weekend seminar) to really make use of its techniques. C'mon guys, raise the price of the book by $5 or whatever and include the DVD with it!

This is a great dvd with amazing explanations. If someone has little or no knowledge of swimming, this dvd is perfect.
