This review is from: 02 in H20 - A Self Help Course on Breathing in Swimming - A Total Immersion Instructional DVD (DVD)

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.

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.

This review is from: 02 in H20 - A Self Help Course on Breathing in Swimming - A Total Immersion Instructional DVD (DVD)

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.
