Course Description

This free course introduces you to the core ideas that make freestyle swimming easier, smoother, and more enjoyable. Many swimmers try to improve by working harder or pushing themselves through long sessions, but real progress begins with comfort, balance, and understanding how your body moves through the water. This course gives you a clear and simple starting point for that journey.

You will learn two essential techniques called Torpedo and Superman. These movements help you feel how the water supports you and how proper body alignment can reduce effort. By practicing these positions, you will begin to experience better balance, improved stability, and a calmer sense of control in the water. The lessons show you how small adjustments can make a big difference in reducing drag and creating a more streamlined body position.

Throughout the course you will receive step by step explanations and practical guidance. Each lesson focuses on helping you feel more relaxed and more aware of how your body responds to the water. You will discover how gentle movements, clear focal points, and simple drills can build confidence and efficiency without strain.

By the end of this free course you will understand the essential principles behind efficient freestyle. You will feel more comfortable, more aligned, and more prepared to continue your swimming improvement with clarity and purpose.

I have been coaching for 25 years and have found your book the most simple and effective to date. It just so logical... and confusion free :-)

By Nina Sami Azzam on 8/12/2020

it was very short , but I liked that he took care of explaining the very details of the strokes , I hoped for more moves to learn

Muy bueno, supero mis espectativas. Yo aprendi a nadar en una escuela donde habia muchos alumnos y no habia espacio a que te dieran instrucción tan detallada como en estos videos. Sin duda creo que permite poder aprender de manera autonoma o por lo menos perderle el miedo al agua.

Thank You Udemy instructor for accepting me into this wonderful course of study. Your lectures are very encouraging on not being able to swim.1 or 2 strokes is good enough for me. But the 3rd wave, I am uncertain if my breathing will subside or capacitate. At least I thought up enough willingness to save myself if push comes to shove. Your lesson will benefit my understanding for many years to come Thanks once again for giving Udemy students this go free subject!

By Ciprian Ganea on 10/10/2019

The course is very good, I have been swimming for over 30 years, I am certified as a swimming instructor (teacher), my opinion is that this course perfectly suits the needs of an adult who learns how to swim.

By Joe Skakles on 11/25/2018

I feel that from my life experance, and being a UK level 2 teacher myself. Total Immerson is the best teaching system in the world

By Michael Osuna on 11/6/2017

This step by step course, where the emphasis is on learning micro skills and internalizing them before moving on, is exactly what I was hoping for.

By Michael Dewey on 9/2/2017

Based on existing Total Immersion training. Excellent for building an effective freestyle foundation

By Kai Rycroft on 7/25/2017

I know its free but there are far better resources available online than this, even if you want to learn Total Immersion swimming. Go on youtube for lessons, use this to experience Terry's teaching style if you are thinking about buying the actual course.
