Total Immersion Swimming iPhone app Review

Description:

The Total Immersion Swimming app for the iPhone allows you to have your own personal swimming trainer without having to waste a lot of money on having a person be at the pool with you every time you go.  This app will help you to manage your balance in the water, help you streamline your body, help you go as fast as you can with minimal effort, and let you watch your progress.  You will be able to watch a variety of different videos that will train on four main skills as well as learn proper techniques for different strokes.  This is a way that you can teach yourself more about swimming than a teacher ever could.

Features:

• This app is dedicated to teaching the inexperienced swimmer how to feel like a natural under the water
• The instructions in the app are detailed enough that you can learn how to be your own coach.  The swimming improvement methods are just that good
• You will be able to learn important techniques such as balancing your body.  You will also learn tips to be able to make “slipper” positions with  your body so that you glide easily through the water

• You will also be able to keep your individuality with each of your strokes as you will become a master of your own economics to bring you the best results
• You will learn “perpetual motion propulsion” which is a combination of your own body mass, gravity, and also the entire fluid motion of your body all at once
• The best part about the app is that you will be able to monitor your progress and see just how far you have come with each passing stroke
• There are also videos that you can watch to help you master four of the basics of swimming
• The first of these four skills is friction.  You will learn what creates the friction that is slowing you down and how to eliminate it so that you can increase your overall speed
