I compete in triathlons, can TI make me swim faster?

Can children learn swimming through TI?
          Yes!  Conventional instruction teaches children to pull and kick and grab a breath if they can.  This produces a stroke with flailing arms, a water-churning kick, and a breath that looks like the child is trying to climb out of the water.  On the other hand, TI believes that practicing comfort, balance, good body positioning, and breath control before stroking and kicking are essential to a smooth and graceful stroke.

I feel uncomfortable and afraid when swimming.  Can TI help?
