Book Reviews of Total Immersion: The Revolutionary Way To Swim Better, Faster, and Easier

Book Review: Much faster because of this book...
Summary: 5 Stars

I'm still not through reading this book, mostly because I got impatient, wanting to try some of the techniques out.

I was a swimmer in high school 20 or so years ago, and figured I didn't need the help. Over 400m I was overaging a little under 8 minutes, but somehow there were always guys that were faster.

In trying some of the techniques in the book, my time is now just a little over 6 minutes. That over 20% improvement!! My swimming is more efficient, smoother and I'm not as tired when I get done.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK.
