Swimming Made Easy will completely transform how you move through the water. Beautiful strokes are within the reach of every swimmer, no matter your age, strength, fitness, or experience. SME explains that fast, fluent, effortless swimming depends far more on how cleverly you avoid drag and work with the water than on how long or hard you train.

'I'm a novice 44-year old and in a few weeks cut my lap time from 45 seconds to 20 seconds using Total Immersion methods. Please tell me where in New Zealand I can find someone to coach me as well as your book has! Cheers,'

'Swimming Made Easy leads you through simple, logical, proven steps that show you how to make fluid, powerful swimming a HABIT rather than a chance encounter and makes the effortless yet powerful grace of elite swimmers accessible to the common man or woman. I've been teaching TI techniques for over a decade now and coaching is more fun and rewarding than it ever was!'

'The TI concepts have given me, a neophyte coach, a superior foundation for confidently guiding young swimmers rapidly through the learning process in all four strokes. I am a far better coach because of TI.'
Gene Mills
Age Group Coach, Avon Lake OH
'Since I began coaching the TI way, my swimmers practice far fewer yards yet outperform swimmers who train far longer. Most important, they have a much better attitude about swimming and look forward to practice enthusiastically.'

'TI brings logic and clarity where most "professional" coaches often can’t explain why they do what they do. TI gives coaches practical tools for increasing swimmers’ proficiency.'
Ron Cobb
Masters Coach, Portland OR
'After learning TI, I swam faster and easier than I ever expected. I went from being a "sprinter" (dying on anything longer than 200 yards) to being a well-rounded swimmer. My sprints are faster and I can easily complete 5000 and 10,000 meter events.'
Laurie Kilbourn
Masters Swimmer and Age Group Coach, Portland OR
'As a coach and fitness swimmer, I use TI techniques every day both on the deck and in the water. I have passed that knowledge on to my swimmers and continue to see results daily. If I only I knew when I swam competitively, what I know today.'
Joe Brace
Head Age Group Coach, KING Aquatic Club, Federal Way WA
'TI makes sense – physically, intellectually and emotionally.'
