6.28.12 Swimming

The Workout: Swim 35 minutes @ MI

I know I've mentioned Total Immersion by Terry Laughlin to be a really good book and one that I really like and have used to make my crawl stroke more efficient.  In saying that, I don't mean to say that it is the ONLY or the BEST thing out there.  I've found it to work well with the way that I think and understand swimming.  I don't need to be the fastest swimmer in the water, I just need to have a very efficient stroke that gets me from start to finish in decent time, with as little expenditure of energy as possible.  That's what TI has done for me.  I had no formal swimming background before I read this book.

I just wanted to be clear and say that this is just one way and it may not work for everyone ;)

That being said.  The mechanics I learned years ago continue to come back to me and I'm making more gains in efficiency in the water, it feels really good.
