Total Immersion "Learn-To-Swim" Two-Day Workshop

Why take a Total Immersion Workshop?

• experience life-changing swim instruction
• overcome years of frustration of swimming
• become a confident, accomplished and passionate swimmer
• it will bring you greater pleasure and improvement to your swimming, whether you are new to swimming or want to excel at triathlons

What can you learn at our workshop?

• learn to bypass months of frustration in the water
• learn to swim effortlessly and the healthiest way to swim
• learn that you can improve at any age
• if you are a triathlete, you will learn to work less and save energy for the bike & run

How is Total Immersion unique?

• Because we rebuild your freestyle from its very foundation, all swimmers- even those with years of experience -- learn new skills
• It gives you (literally overnight) the knowledge and self-improvement tools to swim for endurance and long-distances effortlessly
• Traditional swim 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 Learn-To-Swim Workshop features:

• Seven Hours of in-water instruction from a trained TI instructor
• Classroom discussions explaining how to practice TI for maximum benefit and satisfaction
• Underwater and surface video analysis following each pool session

What to Bring: 

For the classroom: Pad and pen for note taking.

For the pool:

• An extra suit and towel 
• extra pair of goggles
• We recommend that male students wear a Speedo-type brief or close-fitting triathlon swim shorts, rather than loose-fitting swim trunks, which can make balance even more of a challenge.
• Nose-plugs can be very helpful in avoiding distraction in Sweet Spot or in wavy conditions.  
• You may also want to bring a thermal rash-guard type shirt or vest for extra warmth in the pool.

What about fins?

• 'Kicking challenged' swimmers may find fins helpful in achieving ease, but since we began using the "TI Buddy System" in balance drills, the percentage of those choosing to wear fins has dropped from 30% to under 10% of a typical class.  
• Most students move along pretty nicely, once we advance from balance drills, in which all propulsion comes from the kick, to "Switch" drills, in which core-body rotation provides most of your propulsion.
