Editorial Reviews:

Since 1989, Total Immersion Swimming has become a phenomenon among improvement-minded swimmers the first program in the history of swimming instruction with raving fans. TI has become so popular because it is simpler than any alternative; it works with unprecedented dependability and it makes swimming enjoyable and deeply satisfying. Freestyle Made Easy provides the whole picture on smart Freestyle. Total Immersion: Freestyle Made Easy illustrates everything about freestyle swimming how to kick efficiently; every part of the stroke entry, catch, finish, exit and recovery; how to breathe in the pool and in open water; and how to do both the relaxing open turn and the fast flip turn. To allow you to study all of this carefully, the DVD uses more views (surface, underwater, front, and directly overhead), more slow-motion and more stop action than any DVD produced before.

Summary: I think that it works
Comment: I bought the book and the DVD. It actualy works. I am doing the drills for about a month now (4 times per week - 40 minutes each time) and I can see the difference. I'm still struggling with combining strokes and kicks and with breathing while swimming but it seems that the more I practice the better it gets.

Summary: From fighting to flowing...
Comment: If you are a novice swimmer, this is really helpful. I was fighting the water while swimming, windmilling my arms, and kicking like crazy. I could barely finish a 300 meter swim, even with rests. After a few weeks, I am swimming over 700 meters and improving my time and endurance each day I practice.
Customer Rating:
Summary: great DVD, great instruction, but I'm grumpy
Comment: First, yes, I echo what the other positive reviews have said. Music is cheesy, production is cheap-ish, examples are very clear and immediately useful, provides the clarity that the Total Immersion book doesn't.
But really, I should not have had to get 1/3 of the way through the book before finding that I needed a $40 DVD (or, alternatively, a $500 weekend seminar) to really make use of its techniques. C'mon guys, raise the price of the book by $5 or whatever and include the DVD with it!

Summary: free style made easy
Comment: This is a great dvd with amazing explanations. If someone has little or no knowledge of swimming, this dvd is perfect.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great for those of us Visual People!
Comment: I was very pleased with the Freestyle DVD. I purchased a book by the same author titled Total Immersion Swimming: The Revolutionary Way to Swim Better, Faster, and Easier. I found the book contained a plethora of great information, however, I am very visual and when I bought the DVD it opened my eyes to all that the book was saying. I began swimming in February 2008. By performing the drills in the book and swimming 5 days a week I was able to swim 500 yards in 11 minutes and 30 seconds in a race on May 18 2008. Right after that race I purchased the Freestyle DVD and by the next race on June 8 2008 I decreased my 500 yd pace to 10 minutes 30 seconds. With practice I have since decreased my pace to 10 minutes and plan to continue to practice the total immersion method to swim an 8 minute 500 yd race by next May. Thank you Terry!
