Total Immersion: The Revolutionary Way To Swim Better, Faster, and Easier

by: Terry Laughlin
This book really helped after not "swimming" for 30 years. Make sure to get the companion DVD also, as that really helps to get the drills down and see what the stroke should look like. I am amazed how easily I can swim after just a short time with this method.

Triathlon Swimming Made Easy: The Total Immersion Way for Anyone to Master Open-Water Swimming

by: Terry Laughlin
The book overall is well written. The drills are very hard to understand and perform. It seems that to get a better idea of how to perform them you need to buy the DVD.

Not an out of the box self help book. It will require the purchase of the DVD or hire a coach to help with the drills.

I would recommemd purchasing the book but do not pay new price; pick up a used copy.
