Total Immersion Perpetual Motion Freestyle Part 5

[@mecheil2000]

Terry Laughlin is one of the best coaches over all the word... he improved swimming science so much by applying his new concepts of swimming...

[@mjmvet]

So helpful - It's Zen, it's mindfulness, it's building on a solid foundation, brick by brick. Awesome!

[@eegnoagn8048]

What matters is what works. His way to putting things together does make people swim in a unique way as they prefer.

[@zazzolina]

americans... i love you cause u always discover things that are already known... every good swimming coach teaches that the head should never come out of the water. that's just basic good swimming... there's no need of other names...

[@rifyrafi]

Terry Laughlin is a great teacher. I tried all this stuff and ..IT WORKS. I've been swimming wrong all this time until I saw this video. I did too much kicking and I got tired too fast; now with 2-beat kick and relaxed hand glide. Swimming is so much more fun instead a chore. I see a lot of swimmers at the gym swimming the old way and they quit after 10 mins while I keep going. Great teacher.!!

upndown - Re Q on synchronizing hip drive to catch. I've found it easier to time hip drive to (1) spearing hand to its target - right hip spears right hand; and (2) the toe-flick (a more subtle form of "leg drive") on the opposite foot. Rather than synchronize catch to other parts of the stroke, I've found it easier to focus on being as *patient* as possible in initiating back-pressure w/stroking hand. I also encourage you to post queries at TI Discussion Forum

[@Seramics]

Thoroughly enjoyable and educational lecture video. Thank you Terry Laughlin.

[@tonylo6013]

Your videos helped me with competing in olympic Distance and 70.3 swim section. Thanks

[@ASurrURight]

Thank you so much Terry por todo may you Rest In Peace.

[@kon1402]

Great! That really helped me a lot. I love this style. Thx a lot. At first I found it hard to apply the technique (well I am not very proficient swimmer) but after a little practice I think I am getting there :) I breath every 3rd stroke and at first I found it difficult to do it with the hand placed a bit deeper then before. But now when I breath I place the extended hand closer to the surface of the water and that does the trick.

[@CJSinatra]

I learned this just in time.. I had been so focussed on power that I was limited in the distance that I could sustain and finish. This makes swimming fun and enjoyable.

[@leslieswimmingandcycling]

Amazingly good lecture. So well presented and emphasising on the right notes.

[@eastlondonbass]

This is amazing knowledge here. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@swimwithsue]

thank you terry , i absorb all that talk..it improves my immersion swim

[@bruceparker6142]

How does TI do in choppy open water? How does TI do swimming from the shallows out to deeper open water against the surf?

[@HandsomeRabbit8]

Terry did a circle of manhattan with a breeze.

[@PhiyackYuh]

@@HandsomeRabbit8 but thats terry though. I think the question is gearing towards the adult onset swimmers who learned or going through this type of coaching and delivery. You’re always going to pick up your stroke rate in choppy waters and cruise through when its flat and calm waters.

[@monjichael]

So, my question is, as distance swimming coming from sprinting, I did 13 miles last year using a hybrid of my sprint form and what I perceive to be a distance efficient stroke. The other thing is this style for efficiency or winning races as most any distance racer that wins a lot does not use this style; or it seems to me the case.

استاذ ممتاز و شرح واضح. شكرا. تحياتي من المغرب.

[@upndown68]

@totalswimm Another funny thing I forgot to mention. The parallels between learning to swim with TI drills are so close to my other passion(2 handicap collegiate golfer). If you know much about the golf swing you know the hips and body are what power the club, not the arms. This is the first time I have ever heard anyone talk about using your hips/core to power the stroke and wow, things are starting to CLICK!

[@russellodonoghue]

on my breath stroke, my leading arm feels like it wants to come down before the rotating arm hits the water....ie - on breathing to my right for example, my left stretched arm feels or does drop too early and usually before the right arm hits the water...and vice versa...but only on my breath...its this a fault or will i learn to keep it stretched over time - when im not on my breath my technique "feels" good... great tuition TL!!!

[@monjichael]

@zazzolina Anonymous countryperson, I love you because you oversimplified the meaning of this stroke and your comment failed to recognize that we have perpetually dominated swimming for... well, since we started competing. Try learning with your eyes and mind, not your mouth. It's not about nation. It's about evolution.

[@totalswimm]

@upndown68 I would suggest you focus on timing hip drive (I now prefer the term hip NUDGE to suggest a subtler movement that emphasizes integration over sheer power) to the extending hand, rather than the one about to stroke. It's much simpler to think about the weight shift, moving the high hip down . . . which propels the hand more strongly to its "target." Separately, focus on the catch. For that think of "Hold, rather than Pull."

[@fatman100]

Thanks !!!!!On many levels-what an education!

[@upndown68]

I wondered if anyone could comment on the timing of the hip drive timed with the catch. I always struggle with a mental trigger to get this down since it's not in my muscle memory just yet. Does the catch begin to gain traction just before or just after the opposing hip is driving?

[@upndown68]

@totalswimm I am DYING to get on the TI forum, but for the past 3 weeks when I click register it says 'registration has been disabled by the administrator'. Ideas on what's happening? Thanks!

[@zazzolina]

@monjichael u dominate in many sport cause you have money and so the facilities, and cause sport plays a great role in your society. there are many very good swimmers that are not from america anyways. my observation was about a way of teaching ... i'll let you keep evolving. see ya.

[@robertbrandywine]

Why does rotating the body propel you forward?

[@werewasyo]

[@thomaskilroy6260]

hi terry, tom kilroy here in saranac lake. we met a few years ago while discussing your interest in doing progrmas at NCCC. bottom line for me is that you seem to neglect the specific gravity of an individual. your body signature concept doesn't work for me who has never been able to float and believe me, many coaches and instructors have tried. i am not a floater and my "signature" is perpendicular to the bottom of the pool. hence, i have enormous problems doing any slow drills, i sink. i have been a masters swimmer since 1987 and have competed in zone and national meets. i do very well but my specific gravity does affect my swimming.

[@FamilyGuySweden]

can we shape our body like an athlete by swimming this way..?

[@thepatternforms859]

How is this different than Adam ocean Walker?

[@spectator5144]

it is the original

[@dharmveerm3061]

Useful.i like it

[@flexifuerte]

Doesnt this way of swimming generates a dead spot on every stroke???

[@chinaski5]

The breathing seems like the hardest part ot me, and it’s not well-explained

[@betsylaughlin8652]

There are other parts to this talk, which do cover breathing. Simply put, allow the head to follow the body rotation up to air, and try to spear and roll to breathe. It is tempting to push on the lead arm and lift the head up, but that causes loss of balance. Good luck!
