How many of y'all learned how to swim (or swim better) by TI? Im asking because right now is the first time I've ever learned to swim properly, and I have seen marked improvement in my swimming. I am really glad, because I sucked pretty hard at the swim. 
(I have a cush deal too. Im in a $15 a month tri group and the coach is a certified TI instructor :banana<img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif">

So Snooze, I have the DVD, and I took a lesson last summer from a TI coach. 
Do you do the drills instead of swimming laps? I'm worried that if I spend all this time on drills I won't gain swim fitness. 
Anything has to be better than the inefficient stroke I have now!!

I'm sure that's true for me too. 
But I did 1100 yards this morning without any trouble, slowly. I just don't want to stop doing the distances, if you know what I mean. 
I should suck it up and go to a TI seminar here. But they are like $400 for a 2 day thing (good deal, but pricy).

I guess I need to get out my DVD and watch it. When I watched it originally it was kind of confusing, but after meeting with the coach, hopefully it will make more sense. 
I could do lessons, but they are expensive, and the 2 day seminar would be way more cost effective.

Thanks, Snooze! I'll read the whole thing, but that part seems to really hit home. 
Except, I'd be lucky to call myself an average swimmer. <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif">
