Movie Reviews of Happy Laps
Movie Review: I love this DVD!
Summary: 5 Stars
This 40 minute DVD managed to do what 5 different swimming instructors and 4 'how to swim' books could not. It taught me to swim!! If you are an adult that has never learned to swim or is afraid of the water - this is the DVD for you.
The DVD is divided into three lessons and each lesson contains numerous drills. Ideally the drills will be performed with a partner, as shown in the DVD, but I did it on my own.
Lesson One will teach you to be comfortable in the water. Lesson Two teaches you how your body naturally behaves in the water. Lesson Three teaches you a modified swimming "stroke" that will allow a beginner to do laps. Once you have mastered this modified swimming "stroke", it will be easy to learn the traditional freestyle or backstroke.
All of the instruction takes place in a pool and most of the DVD is filmed under water. An accompanying manual can be downloaded from the totalimmersion.net website. I think this DVD is a gem. But remember it is designed for a beginner. If you are not a novice you will be dissapointed. The Freestyle, Backstroke, Breastroke and "Betterfly" DVDs by the same author are better choices for those wanting to improve their technique.
Still not convinced? Take a peak at the sample videos on totalimmersion.net. You won't be disappointed.
