yes, Lea-h got dad interested in learning the Total Immersion Swimming style for long-distance open-water swimming, but I will take credit for getting him interested in taking up the sport in the first place because I gave him Lynne Cox's book "Swimming to Antarctica" to read - the phrase "swimming to Antarctica" is a great metaphor for doing something really, really difficult, but in Lynne Cox's case, the phrase literally means that she swam to Antarctica in cold, cold water - this was one of many open-water swims she completed in frigid water - an amazing story - check it out
