FREESTYLE MADE EASY - THE TOTAL IMMERSION SYSTEM Total Immersion: Freestyle Made Easy illustrates everything about freestyle swimming - how to kick efficiently; every part of the stroke - entry, catch, finish, exit and recovery; how to breathe - in the pool and in open water; and how to do both the relaxing open turn and the fast flip turn. To allow you to study all of this carefully, the DVD uses more views (surface, underwater, front, and directly overhead), more slow-motion and more stop action than any DVD produced before. Since 1989, Total Immersion Swimming has become a phenomenon among improvement-minded swimmers - the first program in the history of swimming instruction with "raving fans." TI has become so popular because it is simpler than any alternative; it works with unprecedented dependability and it makes swimming enjoyable and deeply satisfying. Freestyle Made Easy provides the whole picture on smart Freestyle. Running Time: 42 minutes |

great DVD, great instruction, but I'm grumpy |
First, yes, I echo what the other positive reviews have said. Music is cheesy, production is cheap-ish, examples are very clear and immediately useful, provides the clarity that the Total Immersion book doesn't.
But really, I should not have had to get 1/3 of the way through the book before finding that I needed a $40 DVD (or, alternatively, a $500 weekend seminar) to really make use of its techniques. C'mon guys, raise the price of the book by $5 or whatever and include the DVD with it! |

This is a great dvd with amazing explanations. If someone has little or no knowledge of swimming, this dvd is perfect. |

Great for those of us Visual People! |

I was very pleased with the Freestyle DVD. I purchased a book by the same author titled Total Immersion Swimming: The Revolutionary Way to Swim Better, Faster, and Easier. I found the book contained a plethora of great information, however, I am very visual and when I bought the DVD it opened my eyes to all that the book was saying. I began swimming in February 2008. By performing the drills in the book and swimming 5 days a week I was able to swim 500 yards in 11 minutes and 30 seconds in a race on May 18 2008. Right after that race I purchased the Freestyle DVD and by the next race on June 8 2008 I decreased my 500 yd pace to 10 minutes 30 seconds. With practice I have since decreased my pace to 10 minutes and plan to continue to practice the total immersion method to swim an 8 minute 500 yd race by next May. Thank you Terry! |

From non-swimmer to triathlete-swimmer |
I took 8 half-hour swim lessons at my local gym, which got me started with a rudimentary arm stroke and leg kick. I then bought the Freestyle Made Easy DVD and the book, and 3 months later managed a 1.5k triathlon swim - I was pretty slow! But a few months ago, I did another one and I did an average speed. This DVD is so clear and helpful and easy to follow. The filming of the drills is so good that it is not difficult to emulate it when you do your own practices. I watch it time after time, and regularly do the drills, and I now feel so relaxed in the water, I could swim forever. If it got me swimming without huffing, puffing and panting, it can help anyone

Very Effective |
This was a great video. Watching and applying it consistently transformed my swimming for the better. It actually made me look forward to practicing my swimming where i didn't before.
Only one thing - i could have done with less - better, no - music during the verbal explanations of the swimming and drills. that could get annoying, if like me you watch the video closely over and over.
Overall - i recommend it for anyone who wants to improve their swimming. |
