After I read this article several months ago, I went out and tried it out myself. Prior to trying it out, I could swim about 20m freestyle before becoming exhausted (yet run 10 miles without an issue). If he in fact learned TI well in 10 days, that would be an impressive feat. I swam for about 1 hour in the morning for about a month and am now able to swim several 100m without too much difficulty. Still, I have a long ways to go to become what I would consider effortless in the water (and even further to conform to the TI techniques). Although my technique is 10x more effective and efficient now, my main issue, though, has always been poor breathing techniques. Learning how to properly breathe was the most important thing I learned during the time - which oddly enough I did not learn from TI even. Still, although far from an expert (yet), I'd definitely recommend the TI techniques to learn how to swim efficiently and well.
