Review: Fabulous! - This is a wonderful book that teaches you the most efficient swim stroke possible. I had heard of some of the Total Immersion techniques but this book lays all of them out with step by step drills and techniques. You can teach yourself the techniques easily without the expensive weekend class. The stroke is based on hydrodynamics. A boat's hull speed is determined by the hull length at the water line. The longer the waterline the faster the hull. This technique teaches you to get longer and leaner by stretching one arm out front until the other one comes to replace it. It teaches you to balance on your bouy (chest) which levels your body, brings the hips up and almost eliminates the need to kick. It also teaches you to swim and glide on your side, not flat, so water resistance is minimized. The stroke gets it power from the powerful torso/hip rotation when switching from side to side thus saving your arm and shoulder muscles. This stroke has it all and the very finest swimmers use it. It has opened up a totally new world for me and my swimming. Easier, more efficient, more powerful and more relaxing. You have got to try this out! Review: The Perfect Start to My Swimming Journey - I’m just starting my swimming adventure, and Total Immersion has already changed how I think about being in the water. The detailed focus on streamlining and efficiency really clicked for me, it makes so much sense, especially since water is a thousand times denser than air! Instead of just muscling through, I now see how small changes in body position and technique can make swimming feel easier and more enjoyable. I’m excited to keep practicing with this smarter approach. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #25,291 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #5 in Swimming (Books) #82 in Sports Coaching (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,180 Reviews | ## Images ![Total Immersion: The Revolutionary Way To Swim Better, Faster, and Easier - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91uUa9tvi6L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Language, Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fabulous! *by D***N on October 2, 2007* This is a wonderful book that teaches you the most efficient swim stroke possible.

Terry Laughlin is obviously a very experienced swimmer and coach, and is generally good at explaining things. I was a total nonswimmer until last year, and now would say I am a beginning swimmer. I have had excellent instruction that uses similar techniques to those found here, though some of the TI-like methodology is used for somewhat more advanced students at my school. The point is that I found this book helpful even as a neophyte in the water, though I think the people who will profit most from it will be people who can already swim adequately but want to improve, although Laughlin stresses that anyone from beginners through competitive athletes can benefit. I like that the book clearly explains the objectives, e.g. reducing drag, "swimming tall," and the importance of balancing in the water and swimming on your side (among many others.) As a novice the thing that has helped me most is the concept of keeping one hand in the front quadrant at all times; that along with the mantra of "enter, extend, pause, pull" really opened my eyes to drastically more efficient arm movement. As for dissatisfaction with the text, I would say that the introduction to the Total Immersion (TI) program is far longer than it needs to be, and many chapters have far more verbose explanations than are necessary or desirable (I particularly found much of chapter five trying and somewhat off-putting.) Every time I found something vaguely annoying, though, Laughlin redeemed himself with an insight that seemed tailor made for me. We're all different, but I was especially grateful for the discussion of inflexible ankles in adult-onset swimmers (p. 117) and "Special Help for 'Sinkers'" (p. 113,) my two biggest challenges in the pool. In short, while the text is sometimes excessively lengthy, if you can concentrate on the truly important passages the book can be exceptionally helpful. What kept this book from being a true five star effort is the lack of photographs. Swimming is a very challenging thing to write about instructionally. Merely describing body positions and movements three dimensionally is taxing at best and impossible at worst, and while he tries, describing sensations is extremely subjective and idiosyncratic. This is why photographs taken in series emphasizing key points are vital, and this book has none. It has a very few rudimentary line drawings of a person in the water, but no sequential analysis of any significance (though there are a couple of illustrations featuring different parts of a stroke.) This is wholly insufficient in a book on any anatomically complex athletic endeavor. I, fortunately, purchased the TI DVD "Freestyle Made Easy," and watched it prior to reading this book. I think that as a beginning swimmer if I had read the book without first watching the DVD I would have gotten very little out of it, and would have probably given the book a lower rating. As it is I see the book as an indispensable companion for the DVD, and really think they should be sold as a set, the alternative being to profusely illustrate a new edition of the book with numerous photographs. The DVD is relatively expensive, and if you have some swimming experience the book will have more value on its own than it does for beginners like me, but in all cases the book and DVD are mutually reinforcing, and are of much greater help when used together. If you have to choose between the book and the DVD for budgetary reasons, there's no doubt in my mind that the DVD is the way to go. Despite my critiques, I do like "Total Immersion: The Revolutionary Way to Swim Better, Faster, and Easier," and found it quite helpful in my progress as a swimmer. While I suspect it's best for intermediate swimmers, it answers many questions about swimming and reveals numerous beneficial techniques for swimmers of all levels. If you want to be a better freestyle swimmer, this book can help you. ## Frequently Bought Together - Total Immersion: The Revolutionary Way To Swim Better, Faster, and Easier - Total Immersion Swimming: Perpetual Motion Freestyle in 10 Lessons - Triathlon Swimming Made Easy: The Total Immersion Way for Anyone to Master Open-Water Swimming --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/862380-total-immersion-the-revolutionary-way-to-swim-better-faster-easier](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/862380-total-immersion-the-revolutionary-way-to-swim-better-faster-easier) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-13*
