Frequently Asked Questions
Q. TI seems to be more about
technique and efficiency than speed?
A. It is a very wide spread myth that Total Immersion is only about
teaching technique - however what we will ultimately be teaching you
will be to swim like Michael Phelps and Rebecca Addlington – two of
the fastest swimmers in the world.
Slowing Things Down and Speeding Them Up
Critics of Total Immersion have sometimes claimed that it teaches
swimmers how to swim beautifully and elegantly, but not quickly. But
that is because they mistakenly believe that slowing things down is
the end of the Total Immersion teaching process, whereas in reality
it is only the first part of that process. After slowing things down
to perfect your technique, you then want to gradually speed things
up, while still practicing flawless technique, until you reach race
speeds.
Q. Can I alternate between Total Immersion
Coaching and ASA coaching?
A. No. Conventional coaching methods do not agree with the Total
Immersion Methodology and therefore alternating between the two
methods will confuse you and you will not see the results you will
be hoping for.
Q. What do I need to bring?
A. A swimsuit, (gentlemen please bring Speedo type swimsuit – not
Board shorts), goggles, a towel and a hat. Please also ensure you
have not applied any body lotions or oils on the day of your swim.
Q. What if I have a water phobia?
A. SwimSolutionS coaches anyone – if you have a water phobia we will
spend as much time as you need to feel comfortable in the water.
Q. Do I have to practise in between sessions?
A. Yes, we are trying to get new movement patterns into your muscle
memory – the more you do “good” practise the quicker this will
happen.
Q. When should I arrive for my session?
A. Arrive about 10 minutes before your lesson so you have enough
time to change and shower.
Q. What are your opening times?
A. These are listed below.
Tracey’s availability is as
follows:-
Monday to Wednesday 10am-2pm
Monday to Wednesday 6pm-9pm
Saturdays 9am-2pm *

* Please note that we sometimes have to coach at weekend workshops
and therefore there is always the possibility of us having to cancel
a Saturday at late notice. We will always try and give as much
notice as possible. |
