I bought this video to supplement the book, Total Immersion. I have found the video to be just as helpful or more than the book as you can see exactly what the swim drills are meant to be like. I am a beginner swimmer and found that the drills in Lesson 1 and 2 have been very helpful for me feeling more comfortable in the water and finding a sense of balance. I tend to panic a lot and found that these drills slowly introduce new concepts step by step to reduce a sense of panic in the water. I’d recommend this method to anyone!

This is a great DVD to start good technique with distance swimming. The step by step drills are very well explained. Terry Laughlin, the creator of this DVD, also explains the importance of “mindful swimming” as opposed to just putting in a certain amount of time or a certain number of laps. This DVD has totally changed how and why I practice.

I have six children so teaching them how to swim and be safe in the pool and surf is important.
It is too difficult to get them all into their different age swimming lessons. Time is an issue.
I opted to teach them myself all together- however wanted their technique to be really good which I have never been taught.
These dvds are amazing- already just after the first two lessons I can see such a change in them. I am so relieved that I have the best to give them now. Me (their father) teaching them with these dvds to help is an extra bonus above just puting them in with someone else to learn. I feel like I am doing what a father is supposed to do – share myself and give to them, but with a worldclass professional teaching me how to teach them. The progression in the exersices given are clear and so good. Very well done.
Thank you from Australia

I liked the video, although it was a little long winded and one would have to do this in sections to get it right by ones self. It would be easier with an instructor (naturally)it is not always possible to know if you are doing the strokes correctly and it takes a lot of practice which I have not mastered yet as I still train 3 times a week and its easy to slip back into old habits. It will take discipline to get this but I have seen people who have mastered the skill and it is amazing to watch.

Total Immersion and Terry Laughlin take you step by step in the process of swimming efficiently and effortlessly. This video, which I accompanied with the book “Total Immersion: The Revolutionary Way To Swim Better, Faster, and Easier,” has made it a pleasure to train for my triathlon swims. After doing the drills, I feel more confident and more relaxed in the water. I would highly recommend this along with any of TI’s other products for triathletes, competition swimmers, and anybody else looking to enjoy learning the “right” way to swim.
