Hello there.
I want to learn front crawl. Been talking about it for years put haven't taken the plunge.
I think this is the year.
I have no problems with water, I do breast stroke and pool based tri's. I like open water; lakes, rivers and the sea. I've done scuba diving. Just a bit of backround to say I have no problem or anxiousness about swimming or water, just never learnt fc as a child.
So, opinions on the best way to learn as an adult. I have the Swimsmooth and Total Immersion books but haven't read them and I know you can't learn from a book so want to have some lessons. Which would you recommend, Swimsmooth, Total immersion or the local pool?
TIA

After the first lesson I was doing a passable front crawl, after the 3 I'd booked I was happy to "go it alone" to practice without embarrassment. I go back every so often for an improvement session, but I'm happy now to read about technique and try to improve myself.
