FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Total Immersion Swimming Announces Release of New Freestyle Instructional DVD – “Easy Freestyle: 21st Century Techniques for Beginner to Advanced Swimmers” – available for purchase July, 2008.
New Paltz, NY, June 25, 2008 – Total Immersion Swimming is proud to announce the release of “Easy Freestyle: 21st Century Techniques for Beginner to Advanced Swimmers.” This self-coaching tool distills the lessons and insights from twenty years of teaching experience and is the most foolproof, most convenient way yet to become an efficient swimmer.
The DVD uses dramatically enhanced presentation tools for learning each step and answering every question, including: (1) Clear links of every lesson to the full stroke; (2) Side-by-side comparison of correct and incorrect techniques; (3) Graphic enhancements to clarify every critical position and movement path; and (4) A review/practice segment for each lesson.
Engineers designing a swim foil for the Navy Seals have calculated that the majority of human swimmers convert only 3% of energy expenditures into forward motion. The other 97% is diverted by the energy-robbing challenges faced by land-adapted creatures in a fluid environment: lack of support, stability and traction. Thus, the path to swimming-improvement is not to make more energy available through training, it’s to waste less energy by improving your stroke – and Total Immersion will show you how.
“Easy Freestyle” is the first self-study program to teach you the solutions to every problem that keeps you from swimming as easily, as far, or as fast as you’d like to, in a series of logically-sequenced lessons:
Lesson One: Cooperate with Gravity – Learn to use – not fight – gravity to: (1) Find your natural equilibrium in the water; (2) Achieve a sense of support, comfort and confidence; and (3) Break a cycle of exhausting overkicking.
Lesson Two: Take the Path of Least Resistance – Learn “fishlike” body positions and hone your alignment to minimize drag through active streamlining.
Lesson Three: Swim with your Body – Learn to: (1) Use your hand to “cut a path” through the water, lessening resistance for your torso and legs; and (2) Use rhythmic weight shifts – instead of fatigue-prone arms and legs – to propel yourself with effortless power.
Lesson Four: The “Perpetual Motion” Stroke – Learn to use your “powerhouse” (core-body rotation) to drive your pull and kick. Maximal speed with minimal fatigue equals the “Perpetual Motion” Stroke.
Lesson Five: Channel your Energy – Integrate a compact, relaxed recovery with core-powered movement to minimize unnecessary muscle activation, increase ease of movement, and channel energy where it does the most good.
Lesson Six: Seamless Breathing – Learn breathing skills that not only get your muscles the oxygen they need, but also make your stroke more powerful and effective.
Lesson Seven: Turns that save Energy and Time – Learn the secrets of a fast, easy turn. Three versions of the “touch” or “open” turn that provide more air and yet can be fast enough for racing and two versions of the flip turn. All illustrated as comprehensively as every other skill.
Lesson Eight: Swim Faster Efficiently – Swim fast the smart way instead of the hard way. Learn to increase stroke tempo in a controlled and incremental way without sacrificing the efficiency you’ve patiently developed, with the aid of a Speed Trainer.
