Total Immersion: Balance

Check this video out and see a sampling of the Balance sequence taught on the Self-Coached Workshop DVD used by Tim Ferriss, author of The 4-Hour Workweek, to increase his distance capacity from 40 yards to 2 miles (8000%) in two months.

It took me almost a hundred hours practice in a few years to get the feel of weightless and head laser beam, feel so good once getting it, now my stroke is more used for propel forward rather than fight water. Thanks later Terry.

I will try these. I’ve been struggling with the drills from chapter 3 of the book, mostly learning how to drink pool water through my nose. My swimming has improved a lot, though, because I’ve watched these and Shinji’s videos and worked on the concepts in the pool. Still frustrated that the sensation of ‘pressing the buoy’ eludes me.

Terry is a fucking legend. Thank you so much for this advice. So simple, yet so effective.
