  • Identify Technique Flaws
  • Improve Efficiency
  • Review Body Position and Current Stroke

Group Instruction

If your triathlon club, swim club, organization, company, association, or other group is interested in developing a fitness program incorporating the fishlike swimming principles of Total Immersion, please contact us.

Skill 1: Linear Balance

Cure ‘heavy’ legs by learning to cooperate with – rather than fight – gravity. An effortlessly horizontal body moves through the water more easily and calms your churning legs. It also brings the mental calm necessary to learn every skill that follows.

Skill 1: Lateral Balance

Gain control of your arms and legs to use them effectively instead of ineffective steadying/stabilizing movements.

Together Linear and Lateral Balance allow you to replace arm-and-leg churn with a sustainable stroke rate, giving you the swimming equivalent of a conversational running pace – the key to swimming farther immediately.

Skill 1: Direct ‘available’ Forces

Rather than generating muscular forces. Learn to connect your body mass to the force of gravity in rhythmic weight shifts for ‘free’ power.

Skill 2: Link the Actions

Of your arms and legs to the effortless power of the weight shift to swim with more power, more speed, and no fatigue.

Skill 1: Passive Streamlining

Shape your body to be longer, sleeker, more hydrodynamic.

Skill 2: Active Streamlining

As you stroke, move your arms and legs in ways that redirect energy from making waves and creating turbulence into forwarding motion.

Together Passive and Active Streamlining will produce your greatest energy savings – and greatest increases in endurance and speed.
