About Our Workshops
Since 1988, thousands of adults have learned to swim better, faster and easier and enjoy it more, using the simple and original techniques developed by Terry Laughlin, the world's foremost teacher of "Fishlike Swimming™".
Why "Fishlike" Swimming™? Fish can swim as fast as 68 mph (as fast as a cheetah can run!), while the fastest humans max out at just 5 mph. Fish move so fast and effortlessly because of a natural ability to avoid drag. Human swimmers struggle clumsily against the water’s resistance, and their arm flailing only makes them slower and less efficient. Other swim clinics, by teaching traditional "Human Swimming" techniques, mainly reinforce old habits. Total Immersion is the only place to learn cutting-edge techniques of active streamlining.
Total Immersion Can Teach Anyone!
Whether you’re new to swimming or have years of experience, Total Immersion can provide you with all the tools you need to become the best swimmer you can be. Swimmers at our weekend workshops – even those who have been frustrated for years – have seen their swimming improve dramatically (average improvement in stroke efficiency is 20%) in just a few hours. We speed up the learning curve by concentrating on the 3 essential skills of fishlike swimming: Swimming "Downhill," Swimming "Taller," and "Skating" on Your Side…skills that don’t require experience, fitness, youth, or power…skills that ANYONE can learn at any age.
