on 2010-08-27Easy to understand training DVD. It has helped my swimstroke considerably. The ony draw back is the early 80's music and transitions.

on 2010-08-12I had learned to swim (badly) many years ago, but after almost 40 years of not practicing, what little I knew was pretty useless. Besides which, I had virtually stopped exercising, other than leisurely walks.
At 60, I decided to try again, and this DVD looked interesting. I find the conceptual approach very helpful - focusing on relaxing, breathing, and becoming confident that I'm not likely to drown.
I am taking it very slowly, but I have absolutely fallen in love with being in the water, and I am building skills and reflexes that will serve me well as I put the pieces together and build up my strength. My husband and I have also been working with a teacher who teaches in a more traditional way, but she has been very supportive of my doing it this way, and has been very impressed with the results.
A side benefit is that the way I am learning to breathe for swimming is improving my breathing for singing - another passion of mine.

on 2010-07-22If you are looking to improve your times or just learn how to conserve more energy over a fixed distance then you will probably benefit from this book. Don't mix this technique with the conventional one. I found out it works against each other. If you like this technique, throw away your buoyant training aid as well.This technique is different with the conventional one. Your hips are the engine while your hands are the propellers. So you don't use your hands as pedals. This means hands training aids work against this technique. I like this one since I do long distance swim i.e, 2 miles. I did shave my 2 mile time by 35 min.

on 2010-07-21The DVD of Easy Freestyle Swimming by Terry Laughlin showed well on my computer, and is very helpful, I think, for those wishing to learn or perfect freestyle swimming.

on 2010-06-24I'm only through the first two lessons, and this has already revolutionized my swimming. I've got heavy, dense bones and muscles, and I used to use half my energy just trying to stay afloat. Now I cut through the water like an otter with an outboard motor.
Good production values, clear instructions, easy exercises, superb material.
Pricey, but worth it.
