Movie Reviews of Freestyle: Made Easy
Movie Review: Fantastic!
Summary: 4 Stars
After just a couple of weeks of trying some of the techniques in this video, I have shaved off 4-5 minutes from my 1500m time. Can't wait to see how much improvement comes when I have really adopted all the new movements.Movie Review: Freestyle: Made Easy

I bought the book Total Immersion by Terry Laughlin. This "Freestyle: Made Easy" video is helpful in bridging some of the gaps I have when reading the book especially when a video clip "speaks a thousand words".Movie Review: Freestyle: Made Easy

Very useful video for begniers who is finding difficulty in kicks and balancing.
Cost is very much on the higher side.
Movie Review: Disappointed in DVD
Summary: 3 Stars
I thought I was going to get a great, how-to DVD that would show me some new techniques and give me a better understanding of how to improve my freestyle. Based on the reviews I read prior to my purchase I figured this would be the right DVD for me. Boy was I wrong. The instruction is geared for the complete beginner and spends WAY TOO much time telling the swimmer that they should work on the techniques with a "swim buddy." A lot of good that does when you swim alone and have no one you can swim with at all. The DVD also wastes too much time with the basics of the freestyle stroke. From its title, "swim better, faster and easier" I didn't get that at all from this DVD. It also stated that you would learn about the turns, and open water swimming. In reality, it shows about 8 minutes in total for those two segments. Don't waste your money on this DVD, look for another teaching video, or start asking people you know where they learned about swimming and if they can recommend anything.
I've gotten more out of other swimmers at the pool than I did out of this DVD.
Movie Review: Helpful Technique
Summary: 3 Stars
Terry Laughlin has come up with a swim technique which makes swimming extremely easy for all. The DVD shares the secrets of this technique and demonstrates them. It could be difficult to watch the video and transfer the technique to the pool without using the pictures and descriptions available in the book. Combining both and then using them as an adjunct after a lesson from a Total Immersion instructor works very well.
