Just wondering if anyone had been to any total immersion weekends - half thinking about it but the price is hefty - bout £350 for the weekend
So I'd need to be guaranteed results and going home with a more economic stroke leading to better times and less effort which it kinda promises.
Any thoughts anyone?

I dont know anything about these weekends, are they in open water ?
And do you plan to do open water events.
and yip I plan to do both open water events and pool based sprint tris in the near future zig
Although the book provided lots of good technical information and is very drill orientated I think that for me the biggest advantage was in changing my mental approach. These days I am far more relaxed in the water. I don't worry too much about times but try to concentrate on swimming well rather than fast. The end result is that swimming well causes me to swim faster.
I considered doing the weekend but couldn't justify the cost without trying the cheaper book/DVD option first. Now I am not sure that I would want to pay that sort of money for what I suspect would be a limited gain. I could probably spend the same money on bike related training and equipment and get a better time benefit.
There is no susbstitute for doing as much open water swim as possible.
For some of us it does not matter how good we are on the bike or the run. Our first priority is to get to T1 without drowning. That's why we spend our time and effort in the pool.[;)]
