    Susan- good to hear that! It is all about swim-economy.

    Caddy- You're welcome. I've been watching their videos over and over again. I think the best way is to apply the techniques one at a time. It takes time and patience.

    Wow. I only looked through their Work Less, Swim Better free videos, didn't get a chance to do the drills, but already a remarkable improvement during my open swim class tonight.

    Thank you so much.

    And best of all, no shoulder pain! Just a nice tired feeling.

    Angelisha, you say you've been doing TI for 5, but it really kicked in during the last year. What changed? I have been doing it on and off for 3 years (self taught with the book) but I have a hard time sticking to the drills because I don't really feel like it's making that much of a difference. Have you been doing the drills religiously? I also find it hard to incorporate the drills into my masters workouts...

    I have been doing TI for a year now but I've been swiming for 5 years or so.

    About the drills, yes, I do the drills. I find it very helpful especially having a week off or a lay off.

    I've been taking a swimming course through my local community college & they are all about swimming faster without regard to swimming efficiently. She wasn't even sure what T.I. was.

    I've dropped the course because I don't want to practice my bad habits. I do the T.I. drills and they really help a non-swimmer like me. It can get tedious, especially when I have a bad day in the pool (just can't get the feel right) but I do think it works.

    Does anybody have the DVD? If so, is it good? I've read the book, but I'd like to see it in action.
    To train a dog, you must be more interesting than dirt.

    I don't have the dvd but I've watched a number of TI videos on You Tube. This link should take you to a 7 part series, Perpetual Motion Freestyle: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97b6XIntfcc
