I found Terry Laughlin's book very helpful. I've read it through a few times and am attempting to apply what I'm learning. I've got a ways to go yet, but I see improvements every time I go to the water. I recommend this book.

As a triathlete & having read (& been a student of) Terry's first book, this book was great extension. The explanations of why each drill is done & step by step instruction virtually guarantees fast improvement anyone prepared to put in practice.
Well worth the purchases price.
DO NOT HESITATE! April 5, 2007

I have always been athletic and recently made a new decision to get into triathlons. When I hit the pool I knew immediately my stroke was in desperate need of improvement. This book put into perspective an ideal approach to breaking down the swimming process. I loved the philosophy and practicality of the book so much, I sought out Total Immersion Studio, in New Paltz, NY, and took a private class for the day. Amazing change. I have specific drills to practice and truly enjoy going to the pool with a focus on swimming with a long fluid body rotation and no longer about laps. If no coach is a available, I would recommend the DVD freestyle made easy. Same approach, but in a format that is visual and not intellectual. I'm more than pleased with my purchase.
Dive in! March 19, 2007

This book literally changes the way you think about swimming. We are taught how to swim from an early age, but don't really "think" about it. I went from struggling through two laps to swimming over a thousand yards, and I haven't even finished the book yet. I am training for my first triathlon and was very nervous about the swim. Not anymore.
Swimming is now as easy as walking! January 21, 2007

I began swimming a few months ago in preparation for my first triathlon. Although I could run a marathon with energy to spare, I could barely cross the pool once without gasping. After struggling twice a week for a couple of months, a friend told me about Total Immersion.
I went online and read the first three chapters (for free at the Total Immersion website) and saw significant improvement in my swimming effort. I purchased Triathlon Swimming Made Easy, and have not even finished the book yet, but have seen tremendous improvement in my speed and energy output. Last time I got out of the pool, after swimming more than a mile, I felt like I had just taken a stroll around the block. But best of all, my fastest friend at the pool, who began her mile swim at the same time as me, couldn't lap me!
Speed and ease of swimming are the benefits of employing the methods in this book. Read it and get faster while saving your energy for other parts of your triathlon.
