Total Immersion
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention:
-
Only a third of American adults can swim the length of a 25-yard pool.
-
And just two percent can swim a continuous quarter-mile.
Total Immersion instruction puts you at ease in the water, then teaches you to cleverly adapt human anatomy to swim more like an aquatic mammal.
Three Steps to Success
Total Immersion techniques of have been refined over 25 years with countless thousands of students—most of whom had little skill or experience.
We follow the same 3-step sequence of foundational skills with every student and every form of swimming. When you learn these skills you’ll be able to:
-
Swim farther and faster using less energy
-
Enjoy every stroke and improve continuously.
-
Swim free of injury or pain.
Step One:
-
The 3 C’s--Comfort, Control, and Confidence. Every TI student begins by learning Balance and Core Stability. These foundational skills replace that sinking sensation with a comforting sense of being ‘weightless’ in the water.
Step Two:
-
Take the Path of Least Resistance. Because water is 1000 times denser than air, water resistance (drag) is the largest factor limiting how far or fast we swim. Fish and aquatic mammals are naturally streamlined. For human swimmers it’s a learned skill.
Step Three:
-
Move From Your Core. In traditional technique, the arms and legs do the lion’s share of the work, while the core body is passive baggage. We invert that dynamic initiating all movement, power, and rhythm in the core—the most naturally powerful and fatigue-resistant part of the body.
