books - Terry Laughlin

There are two books: "Total Immersion: The Revolutionary Way to Swim Better, Faster, and Easier"
and "Swimming Made Easy: The Total Immerion Way for Any Swimmer to Achieve Fluency, Easy, and Speed
in Any Stroke.

Swimming Made Easy is Terry Laughlin's more recent book and I gather he has changed/refined his
drills since the first book, so SME would be the better choice.

I started with the book 'Triahtlon swimming made easy' by Terry Laughlin, because I am specially
interessted in freestyle. I can realy recomend the book, there are some basic rules(*), which seam
to be logical when your read them, but I would never get to them without the book.

(*)the moist basic rule: work smarter not harder !

it helped me a lot, but I am still learning. Dani

guidebook and your help.I don't now which book I should buy. What are differences between this
books? Maybe are another, worth mentioning books? Please help me.

Thanks in advance

SME is the newer version of the "strokes" drills. TSME is theTriathlon swimming made easy. I
don't have it yet but my understanding is that it deals only with freestyle and is even bent
more towars triathlon freestyle. Longer swims, sighting strokes etc. I have the first and
second book. The second, SWE, is a superior, IMO, set of drills. Also contains all four
strokes which is nice once you get one down move on to the next.
