Total Immersion Workshop

Why take a Total Immersion Workshop? TI Workshops have been literally life-changing for thousands of adults, overcoming years of frustration and creating confident, accomplished – even passionate — swimmers. Experienced and accomplished swimmers also come away with something invaluable – an understanding of what works and why in swimming. For all, TI instruction ensures that every hour of swimming…for the rest of your life.will bring greater pleasure and improvement.

What can you learn at TI?

•    New swimmers learn to bypass months of frustration and swim smart from the start.

•    Fitness swimmers learn the healthiest way to swim.

•    Mature swimmers (including Masters) learn they can improve at any age.

•    Triathletes learn to work less, swim better (helping your cycling and running too!)

Because we rebuild your freestyle from its very foundation, all swimmers– even those with years of experience — learn new skills. 

How is TI unique? (1) It can give you—literally overnight—something no other program can offer: the knowledge and self-improvement tools for one the rarest accomplishments available: Becoming a Long Distance Swimmer! Did you know fewer people have swum the English Channel than have been in outer space? While few set their sights that high, there are many who’d love to swim a mile. No other method can do as much to help you swim your first mile – and then a faster mile – even if you can barely finish a lap now. (2) The reason so few humans can swim more than a short distance is that, as terrestrial creatures, our anatomy and instincts are all wrong for an aquatic environment. Traditional instruction teaches you to swim like a land-dweller – arms windmilling and legs churning. TI is the only program to teach “fishlike” swimming – balanced, streamlined and smooth.

Each workshop features:

• Seven Hours of in-water instruction from trained TI instructors

• Classroom discussions explaining how to practice TI for maximum benefit and satisfaction

• Underwater and surface video analysis following each pool session

For more information or to register for the Total Immersion Workshop visit www.totalimmersion.net.
