Just wondering if anyone uses the TI approach to swimming. I notice a lot of people swimming this way, but I notice that the fastest triathletes really do not appear to have this particular form.
I've read the Total Immersion book and done some of the drills periodically and it has helped me get a better position in the water. Now that is from someone that was totally alien to swimming a couple of years ago when I found the book. Since then my swimming has progressed and I'm very comfortable in the water. I still do some of the drills to warm up and get a feel for the position I would like to attain while swimming. However I'm told that swim training time (according to a TI instructor) should consist almost ENTIRELY of drills. A couple of friends attended one of the weekend clinics in Atlanta recently and I was just wondering if anyone had positive or negative views of this approach to swimming faster.
So let the opinions fly!!!
