This course is meant to follow your introduction to Total Immersion’s fundamental skills taught in Level 1 workshops, in a series of private lessons with a certified TI Coach, and in the Perpetual Motion Freestyle video series and in the newest Ultra-Efficient Freestyle video series. Your familiarity with the drills, with the terminology and with the focal points that are taught in these TI resources is essential in order for the terminology and assignments in this course to be of benefit to you.
You may be of any adult age. You may be of any starting skill level – from learning-to-swim, to advanced competitor who is learning these principles for the first time. We guide you in how to adjust the assignments to fit your starting point.
Even if you are an experienced swimmer who really wants to rebuild under TI principles, it will still be of most benefit to you if you can set aside a month or two where you slow down the physical intensity of your practices so that you may turn up your concentration on fine details in order to give your brain a better setting in which to wire new motor circuits. Then you may gradually turn up the intensity of your training in order to strengthen those new circuits. If you try to swim at former intensity on new-born motor circuits, they simply cannot hold up. It takes time – starting gently and gradually increasing intensity – to build them up into dominance over your hold patterns.
