Since 1989, Total Immersion has become a phenomenon among improvement-minded swimmers – the first program in the history of swimming instruction with “raving fans.” TI has become so popular because it is simpler than any alternative; it works with unprecedented dependability and it makes swimming enjoyable and deeply satisfying. But the one thing TI has not been is to be available to people who were afraid of the water or who couldn’t swim at all…until now. Happy Laps is the first TI self-help tool to address the real basics: how do I swim without fear of sinking, how do I breathe in water, and how do I move with such efficiency that I will be able to swim graceful, nearly effortless laps for health, fitness or pleasure with absolute comfort and confidence. Happy Laps can turn anyone into a swimmer. This self-teaching DVD offers a simple, clear, common-sense approach to learning to move through the water easily, comfortably, and so pleasurably that your practice time becomes the healthiest, most rewarding, part of your day. Happy Laps will show you, step by step, a completely fresh way to move through the water, a way guaranteed to make swimming easier than anything you’ve tried before. 40 mins. (2007) DVD-All-Region.

Freestyle Made Easy provides the whole picture on smart Freestyle. It illustrates everything about freestyle swimming – how to kick efficiently; every part of the stroke – entry, catch, finish, exit and recovery; how to breathe – in the pool and in open water; and how to do both the relaxing open turn and the fast flip turn. To allow you to study all of this carefully, the DVD uses more views (surface, underwater, front, and directly overhead), more slow-motion and more stop action than any swimming DVD produced before. 42 mins.

With Terry Laughlin. Nothing is more essential to a swimmer than air. Yet, few swimmers truly understand how to breathe efficiently...not just to get air, but to integrate breathing seamlessly with the stroke. Breathing is sometimes viewed as a liability or inconvenience, but when you do it right, breathing can actually make your stroke better. This DVD shows you how, using water bowl exercises, shallow water exercises, skills in drills and whole stroke breathing skills. Detailed studies with focal points for practice cover these three major strokes: Freestyle, Breaststroke & Butterfly. 60 mins. (2008) DVD-All-Region
