Total Immersion Inc. is a US based company with international affiliates (e.g. Total Immersion Europe GmbH, Switzerland). Total Immersion (TI) is a method of swimming instruction, developed by Terry Laughlin, an American swimming coach. Its primary focus is to teach swimmers to move through the water efficiently. By conserving energy and focusing on balance and streamlining in the water, any energy used for propulsion becomes much more effective. Basic principles of teaching include sustainability of effort, drag reduction, vessel shaping and full body swimming.
Total Immersion is distinct as a swimming method due to the combination of principles including the body's physical movement through the water, teaching methods focused on how the brain acquires new information about motor skills, and an approach to the practice of movement which many find similar to the practice of yoga or Tai Chi.
Total Immersion focuses on a handful of core principles that apply to any body moving through a fluid medium whether it be a boat, a submarine, an aquatic mammal or a fish. It emphasizes greater efficiency and lowered resistance by teaching drills and focal points that keep the swimmer's hips near the surface, reducing the drag profile of the body. Balance in the water refers to having hips, shoulders, and head all level with the surface of the water. The body acts like a see–saw with the lungs as the fulcrum. Because the legs typically weigh more than the head and upper body, swimmers must focus on getting weight forward of the lungs in order to bring the hips to the surface. Adjusting head position, usually by lowering it, and having the arms in front of the lungs by almost overlapping the timing of the stroke helps to balance the body in the same way a see–saw balances by adding weight to one side. This stroke timing is frequently called "front quadrant swimming".{Total Immersion T. Laughlin & J. Delves pp. 37–41 & 90-91}
Members of the US Military Endurance Team were in Jupiter, FL for a week long Triathlon Camp hosted by Podium Performance & Recovery (PPR). Palm Beach Masters' Coach Linda Irish Bostic & Coach Grant Whitcomb led them on a 1.3 mile open water swim in the Intracoastal waterway, off Jupiter Island at sunrise on March 3, 2016.

I like to scuba dive around the world. Here's a few clips from some cold water Pacific Northwest dives, and some dives in Maui, Hawaii.
Video captured ONLY Minutes subsequent to its "Companion" that "Ran-on" for OVER 17 minutes, this segment of SLIGHTLY Over 6 Minutes (TOTAL of 24 of 30 Minutes of Video which the Sony BIONZ imager is Capable) DEMONSTRATES how QUICKLY Light-Conditions CHANGE during just HALF the "Golden Hour" referred to by Photographers. That's MY "Justification" for "Just One MORE Shot!" or "My processor will "time-out" in ONLY Minutes!" are NOT just Rhetorical or Cliché for BOTH ENDS of a "Photographic Day"!!! (EVEN tho' I DO REGULARLY "Quip" 'em @ ANY POINT in between) As One (Photographer/Videographer) who LOVES a CAMERA with SHUTTER AND MOVIE "Buttons" EQUALLY, I consider it My "PEROGATIVE", especially in THIS INSTANCE when a NEW CAMERA has a NEW RED "Movie-button" that is $5K $tuck & WON'T/ WILL Vi...

Here we are out at L1 before a chilly swim in a 52F Lake Michigan. Nick and Mike went without wetsuits, but I happily deferred to neoprene this time around!

Multi billion dollar corporate
Media feeding us
All the lines
That we want to hear
We were all raised on the belief
That we would make it in this world
There's no reason for us to fear
I don't believe in those fairytales
Like the american dream
Where everyone wins
In the end
I've worked hard enough
And i've she'd my tears
Trying so hard but getting nowhere
How long will we go on
Living on comfort
And sloth
When
The hungry
Die in our streets
How long
Will we believe the hype
They feed
Fully
Endorsed
By heartless greed
Awaken sleeping proletariat
Who holds the key
To public outcry
And a change in public policy
We must believe that this can happen
If we strive to be
More conscious of effort
To be free
We must build a better life
If our children can survive
I can not
Stand by your side
And watch you
Add to the lie
It's time for
Us to take charge
This is our
Our call to arms
