Well, things are going swimmingly at the Kerr YMCA. Last week, I held our monthly Total Immersion Taster (clinic), which lasts 2 hrs and gives an intro to TI. It is free, since the Y is so supportive of TI programming. 12 adults attended, grasped and began using TI techniques. There were many comments like - this feels so much easier, I can't believe I never knew how to swim like this, this is more relaxed, and I swam further strokes to get across than ever!
I was delighted to observe, once again, that when any swimmer puts certain principles into practice, improvement is guaranteed. Several swimmers swam fewer strokes in 25 yds, after simple adjustments. One person went from 28 to 21 SPL, and another 24 to 19 SPL. Probably the most excited individual was a woman who has been teaching swimming her whole life, after realizing the difference TI makes.
Next TI Taster at Kerr Y is December 13, from 12:15-2:15 pm. Call 562-9622 to register.
