Total Immersion Head Coach, Terry Laughlin, explains the concepts behind Total Immersion's freestyle method to swim faster, using detail analysis of both olympic and long distance swimmers.
I would just like to point out that the "amazing" swim split by this athlete at the 2009 Phily Tri should be adjust by +3:00. The top pro men exited the water in 15 minutes...meaning the swim was AT LEAST 3:00 minutes short for an elite athlete...maybe 4:00 short for a intermediate swimmer. Improving from 27:00 to 22:00 over 2 years, factoring in the fact that this athlete was completely NEW to swimming, is actually pretty average and expected!

But good job, none the less.
