Nothing is more essential to a swimmer than air. Yet, few swimmers truly understand how to breathe efficiently...not just to get air, but to integrate breathing seamlessly with the stroke. Breathing is sometimes viewed as a liability or inconvenience, but when you do it right, breathing can actually make your stroke better. This DVD shows you how, using water bowl exercises, shallow water exercises, skills in drills, and whole stroke breathing skills. Detailed studies with focal points for practice cover these three major strokes: Freestyle, Breaststroke, and Butterfly.

 Extremely useful skillset, August 11, 2008
By Pacific Breeze (Santa Monica, CA)

I never learned how to swim as a child, but am fairly athletic and can run 10 miles at a time at a good pace. I finally decided to learn how to swim over the last year, but was surprised that I was always short of breath after 1-2 laps in a 25 meter pool, even when I wasn't sprinting. I knew I was doing something wrong, and this DVD was extremely helpful in correcting the way I was breathing to reduce hypoxemia and improve my overall performance.

 Not worth the $$, December 22, 2008
By Aspiring Triathlete (Denver CO, USA)

First of all, I love Total Immersion and have been using Terry Laughlin's methods for years, even before everyone else started copying him! As the hardest part of swimming, no matter what the method, is the breathing part, I looked forward to this new DVD. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed. There was not much new here, just a reworking of the same material in Terry Laughlin's other (very good) DVD's. Not enough depth into each topic, lots of views of Terry in an Endless Pool with some occasional poor form to boot.
To summarize:
If you're a beginner, or new to Total Immersion: Instead, try Freestyle: Made Easy, or Easy Freestyle Swimming by Terry Laughlin
If you're an intermediate or experienced swimmer or triathlete: Don't bother.

 Works., June 27, 2011

I had a phobia of putting my face in the water. This cured me and I was able to finally learn to swim, at age 40. I can't praise it highly enough.

 Dreadful, Overwrought, and Useless, February 22, 2011
By Mick LaSalle (San Francisco, CA USA)
|

This DVD should be cut into guitar picks. It is just worthless. Like so many swimmers, I have a problem breathing while doing freestyle. My form is great, I should win a freakin' medal, but I get terribly winded after 2 laps and need to switch to breastroke or to stop altogether. I've tried every trick in the book but can't lick this problem. I thought this DVD would address this problem. It doesn't. It assumes you have never seen water before and laboriously instructs you how to stroke in the water. There is NO advice on exhaling in the water, proper breathing techniques, drills, NOTHING. It's just dreadful and prosaic. Besides that it was great.
