What is Total Immersion™?
A Unique and Intelligent Approach to Swimming
Total Immersion is an approach to swimming based on body awareness, efficient use of power, coordination and hydrodynamics. In TI, we generate propulsion through technique rather than brute force. The result is an effortless and fish-like way of moving through water.
Swim Smart, Not Hard
Traditional swimming lessons often emphasizes muscling and strength to pull with the arms and kick with the legs, the TI method is about minimizing effort while maximizing output. When you swim TI, you become more aware of how you are moving, visualizing every stroke before committing to its physical execution. This gives you greater control over every muscle in your body, allowing you to swim faster, longer and better.
