Total Immersion Freestyle Ultimate Demo

[@willkiesel2961]

I retired 2 tears ago and started going to the YMCA to swim....I saw a woman swimming back and forth very gracefully .....not TI swimming but beautiful...and said to myself I want to swim that way...I went to You Tube and put in Graceful Swimming and Shinji"s video came up....it has transformed my swimming and life....I now swim regularly with a group of lifelong swimmers in the ocean for a mile swim .....we average 30 to 35 minutes depending on conditions....I broke 30 for the first time 2 weeks ago.....I continually watch Shingi for inspiration....Thank you for your generous sharing of your technique....Bill K...I am 66...

[@sunjiulu]

I cannot stop watching it, again and again, this free style swim is perfect.

[@alasporter]

Thanks to you guys I can now swim a mile in 38 minutes. When I first saw this video a few years ago it took me 48 minutes. I'm still watching these videos as I learn from them every time.

[@alasporter]

Through watching this fantastic video and constantly listening to the music whilst swimming 4 out of 7 days a week I can now swim the front crawl. I started swimming 18 months ago and can now swim a mile in 48 minutes. Not bad for a beginner of 55years ya.. Thank you so much

[@mariahburtonnelson5924]

Mariah led me to Total Immersion Freestyle and I am very happy learning it at the age of 89! Sarah

[@annebonnylives1]

Thank you this was what i needed. Just to watch no explanation. I am reading the book and watch a video every time before I swim. Total immersion got to me before I ripped a rotor cuff trying to push harder not better. I am so grateful for this technique.

[@alasporter]

I downloaded this music to my Apple Ipod so when I swim I think of you guys and your techniques, now after months of practising I can swim a mile quite comfortable, without splashing well almost. Thank you so much for this demo.

[@luistorh]

This sort of videos is the best example of "look and learn" Thanks.

[@HansButtplugNiemann]

Unbelievable levels of natural buoyancy.

[@flyinghu4320]

It's the most awesome free style swim I have seen. I like it and follow it this period. I hope I can get this skill.

[@darojobe]

thank you, shinji and terry. i used to dislike swimming before... now im enjoying my time in the pool

[@ehlersphoto]

Beautiful! Terry is the most amazing coach!

[@AdventureBeyond]

These guys are my inspiration in my effort to improve my swimming. Thank you for the video beautiful swimming!

[@TheRRC86]

TI helped me to finish my first IronMan, it's just great!

[@ejkim5594]

눈을 뗄수가 없네요! 넘 멋져요!

[@kaeto92584]

I love TI swimming, its fun and relaxing. one last thing i need to learn is to be relaxed IN the water. i am a calm and composed person but NOT when in the water

[@madhvi15]

very inspiring ! almost poetic and very good synchronization too !

[@dokkiri94]

That's elegance in motion. I am going to try this tomorrow!

[@haviskam]

I love the way Shinji's legs trail his torso.

[@jamalmilano6716]

I love to watch it everyday

[@dr.mussabalrasheed-.6296]

The beginning is just perfect

[@waynehenry8792]

So awesome, im giving myself 6 months to attain this level of smooth effortless swimming.

[@Peekingduck]

Smoooooth, so smooth !

[@riyanshaik783]

Absolutely effortless and graceful swimming! What's a balancing kick and where can I learn more about it?

[@sbsmanutube]

hopefully one day i can attend their class ..thanks for the TI videos ..

[@ThanhPham-qf9jd]

really really beautiful swimming. I love this so much. Will practice this and believe some day I can swim like that :D

[@foxgeek]

[@jackzhu69]

Very beautiful! Thanks for sharing.

[@pocketcharts12]

Now this is smooth!

[@mohanmalgar9659]

By using this technique of swimming now I can swim...Longer without getting tired

[@Jon7Lane]

Inspirational, makes me want to go swimming now!

[@adamding3873]

Among the 3 great swimmers, Shinji swims the most smoothly. Their moves are almost the same, but Shinji reaches out the front arm a little bit lower than the others(about 1 foot below the surface), so that his legs can be higher and the whole body position is better streamlined. In such a lazy kicking mode, this trick is very effective. If you want to swim like that, smooth and with the minimal kicking effort, you'd better do that too. However, if you want to swim faster, you need keep your arm close to the surface to minimize the drag, and kick more or harder to raise your legs up.

[@berenangdenganmudah]

I wish I knew this video the day it was uploaded.

[@OGerl]

@tiswimjapan What is the title of this amazing music? Fits perfectly to the video...

[@gutebruders]

완벽해요. 정말 완벽합니다.

[@hypnozzz]

2:05 water high five! Seriously, TI is truly a great way to swim :)

[@Mireilleperforms]

Wow looks wonderful

[@billyoon0105]

I watched this video over and over to improve my swim skill. I do swim every single day still I have difficulty in rotation my body is not good balanced. I want to swim like this some day.

[@hashimali9162]

It’s an amazing video

[@nadir31able]

Perfect ,Perfect ,Perfect

[@ChristopherGreenwell]

Silly question, ... if I utilize this style of swimming for either Triathlons or otherwise, do I NOT kick more than is demonstrated in the video? It takes me about an hour to swim a mile and I'm absolutely torched from the effort (mostly from the kicking). Clearly I have swim issues.

[@ShinjiTakeuchi]

It depends on the purpose of your kick. If it is to stabilize your body in the open water, you might want to use an easy 6-beat kick or 2-beat kick. If you want to use it for propulsion, you might want to use a hard 6-beat kick, which requires more energy.

[@flatbedladyv2191]

45 yrs old ..just learned..cant breath too well ..yet!! but i love it..

[@sureshkulkarni07]

Beautiful!!!

[@غتع-ك6د]

Wonderful swimming

[@CT2507]

is that kick doing anything for propulsion? it looks more like a balancing kick.

[@simonshusse]

This seams to suit endurance, perhaps open water, swimmers. Does it work as well for quicker paces? I mean, you would want your legs to do more work no? I'm practicing this like crazy now so I'm an early adopter none the less. Cheers. :-)

[@ShinjiTakeuchi]

You need to change the style when you swim a short distance (less than 200m.)

[@moustaphadieng4898]

Very nice thanks so very much!!!

[@dremendes3730]

Perfect for me

[@mohammadabbad13]

You can learn it by your self .. Whach what they are doing and practise it in the swimming pool .

[@pedrosafamilytv]

Shinji, help me to get this ultimate position and posture in freestyle.

[@ShinjiTakeuchi]

+Jessiemar Pedrosa, please refer drill 2 of the following content: tiswim.jp/digital-en/ebooks/challenge-1000mfree-en.html

[@djeeee911]

It's not jus technical, they got power for no using leg at all in clean water and get so smooth

[@bruceyung70]

Inspirational.

[@poolrattie]

whenever i see these two swim,i almost weep... the technique is so effortless...someday i will be at that stage too. sigh......

[@GrusAlex]

Perfect

[@minukekim9023]

Ultimate indeed!

[@leemingleeminglee1981]

[@beahero4076]

Great!

[@pabloca83]

[@MrRunner42]

I tried the "spear technique" and knocked 3 strokes from my pool lap. ie. 22 to 19.

[@pauloalves-fm6kf]

How is it possible? I do the moovements But it doesnt work.

[@nealnewman1774]

Poetry in motion.

[@ElMuerte69]

How is this different than normal swimming? I don't get it

[@device-bk4gs]

This is my ringtone

[@eiinc1117]

[@shaunmcewan5494]

[@setyopranowo9800]

[@loiphamhong4947]

Tôi sẻ cố gắng phấn đấu

[@sammisong9792]

편안하다

[@HK-bc9hh]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@lucy7804]

seems like shinji's hips are higher in the water.

[@eileenfisher8534]

Just BE A UTIFUL!

[@miuleruriartegonzales4443]

few views. how it can be possible.

[@barunosardadi4717]

On 1:21 until 1:27, I don't understand why Terry and Shinji are faster than the guy on the left lane, which seems using form which is not too bad (unlike the lady in the next duration). Could you please explain? Thanks beforehand.

[@ShinjiTakeuchi]

The difference mainly comes from the underwater stroke. If you can use wider area of your hands to push the water, or hold the water for a longer duration, you can increase propulsion.

[@barunosardadi4717]

Thanks Shinji

[@datnguyen7494]

He barely kicks, still his legs float high

[@LitoLampitoc]

is this technique applicable in rough/choppy waters?

[@ShinjiTakeuchi]

Yes, it is in terms of stroke control techniques.

[@carlosoliveira9949]

Perfect
