Movie Reviews of Happy Laps
Movie Review: it took my fear of sinking away
Summary: 4 Stars
this DVD is for beginners who want to take the first steps in swimming or someone who is not comfortable in water. I bought this with Free Style Made Easy and I am happy to say that I can now swim. 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.
Movie Review: Happy Laps
Summary: 2 Stars
When I ordered this DVD I was at the understanding that I was going to learn to swim better. However; it was way more basic than it was advertised. It was completely for someone who was afraid of water or just had not ever swam and needed to learn everything from the beginning. This was very disappointing to me since I needed it to help me improve my current swimming skills for an upcoming triathlon. Movie Review: Swim Like a Fish
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm constantly trying to improve my swimming skills and was recently steered toward Total Immersion swimming. This DVD clearly demonstrates the drills and lessons of the Total Immersion Swim School. It was instructional and clear and I found it to be very helpful. The concept of swimming on your side instead of flat to the surface is a real advancement in grace and speed. The DVD is easy to follow and the lessons are spelled out clearly. I'm mastering the drills and look forward to swimming like a fish soon! I recommend this product to anyone interested in improving their swim skills.
