I took the TI classes a couple years ago. I went from a virtual non-swimmer to having the technical
knowelege to become a pretty good swimmer. (I let life get in the way and didn't follow up on the
classes, so I still don't have any swimming endurance, but that's my fault, not TI's.) What you get
out of the classes will depend on what you start with and what you put in. If you are now a
non-swimmer, you will get better. If you are a college swim competitor, don't excpect much (any?)
improvement. Also, you are simply being taught a standard freestyle swim. The onl;y thing "new" is
the teaching method, not the end result. If you have access to a good local coach, you will probably
learn as much from him as from TI. If you are starting from scratch TI is a great way to learn some
drills and techniques that will make you a better swimmer. I would sttart with their books and
videos (the videos show you what the books are talking about) and see if they make any sense to you.
If you get something from the videos, going to the class will provide the type of indivdual
instruction to bring it all together.
