Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: The basics of swimming Comment: Very good swimming lessons, focusing on the most important techniques of freestyle. I strongly recommend it for all level of swimmers. Customer Rating: Summary: require inteligent guess Comment: This DVD offers lots of informations but you do need to know the basic swimming knowledge. I had to get a book to read up on some of the techniques and instructions mentioned on ths DVD. The DVD is not for a complete beginner. The production quality (editting)is not as good as most of those DYI TV programs, and the instructor keeps switching what he was about to say in the middle of the sentence. He is definately not reading off of a script and I wish he did. If you are not good at picking up instruction information from unique speach pattern, this DVD may not be right for you. Customer Rating: Summary: great for beginners Comment: I am not a fast swimmer and usually my first hundred meters was about 2:05 which is slow. don't laugh. But after working on the drills, I went to 1:52. I am drilling everytime I go into the pool and slowly working all the steps together. But beware, swimming properly is more tiring than swimming poorly.... Customer Rating: Summary: Very helpful Comment: I thought this was a helpful DVD. It taught me lots of useful tips and techniques that I use in my workouts.I thought the underwater camera work was useful. It was great to see what the stroke looked like beneath the surface. Customer Rating: Summary: Terrific! Comment: I really learned to swim. I feel as I took a class. The best insturctor possible- very easy to understand and to follow. I'm buying now the other DVDs of the group as well. More Reviews
