We have released Easy Freestyle, the latest (and likely final) update to our line of freestyle improvement videos.

Terry Laughlin, TI Founder and Head Coach says:

After working on Easy Freestyle since early March, I feel it represents something truly ground-breaking in "self-help swim-improvement." First it teaches the unmistakable advantage of: (1) minimizing energy waste before focusing on increasing fitness or power; and (2) minimizing drag first in every aspect of the stroke - including pull, kick and breathing.

Second, it uses dramatically enhanced presentation tools for learning each step and answering every question, including: (1) Clear links of every lesson to the full stroke; (2) Side-by-side comparison of correct and incorrect techniques; (3) Graphic enhancements to clarify every critical position and movement path; and (4) A review/practice segment for each lesson. Here's a lesson summary:

Nothing is more essential to a swimmer than air. Yet few swimmers truly understand how to breathe efficiently. Not just to get air, but to integrate breathing seamlessly with the stroke. Breathing is sometimes viewed as a liability or inconvenience, but when you do it right, breathing can actually make your stroke better. This DVD shows you how.

Contents:
