Total Immersion Swimming Releases New Instructional DVD

“Easy Freestyle: 21st Century Techniques for Beginner to Advanced Swimmers” is an affordable, convenient way to improve your swimming technique.

The DVD offers learning tools such as side-by-side comparisons of correct technique and incorrect technique and graphic enhancements to clarify every critical position and movement path.

“Easy Freestyle” is the first self-study program to teach you the solutions to problems that keep you from swimming as efficiently as you’d like to. Lessons are:

Lesson One - Cooperate with Gravity: Learn to use—not fight—gravity to find your natural equilibrium in the water, to achieve a sense of support and comfort, and to break the cycle of exhausting over-kicking.

Lesson Two - Take the Path of Least Resistance: Learn “fishlike” body positions and hone your alignment to minimize drag.

Lesson Three - Swim with your Body: Learn to use your hand to cut a path through the water, lessening resistance for your torso and legs. Use rhythmic weight shifts to propel yourself.

Lesson Four - The “Perpetual Motion” Stroke: Learn to use core-body rotation to drive your pull and kick.

Lesson Five - Channel Your Energy: Integrate a compact, relaxed recovery with core-powered movement to minimize unnecessary muscle activation and increase ease of movement.

Lesson Six - Seamless Breathing: Learn breathing skills that make your stroke more effective.

Lesson Seven - Turns that save Energy and Time: Three versions of the “touch” or “open” turn that provide more air and yet can be fast enough for racing. Also included are two versions of the “flip” turn.

Lesson Eight - Swim Faster Efficiently: Learn to increase stroke tempo in a controlled and incremental way without sacrificing the efficiency you’ve developed.

The DVD run time is 73 minutes, and the suggested retail price is $39.95. For more information or to purchase the DVD, visit www.totalimmersion.net.
