Does anyone use Total Immersion as a swim technique?

Not total immersion - I seem to remember old resident Deenzy tried it and found it overglidey and not great for open water fisticuffs. It's also IIRC a bit of go back and start to learn from scratch thing whereas most of us want 'OK, to make my swimming quicker/easier the three things I need to do are.....'. I'm in a SwimSmooth squad.
I suspect Ankh can give a bit more on TI.
As for sufferfest I have tried them and unless they have radically changed they are stand alone sessions, quite entertaining in their own right but
- not as engaging as Zwift
- not a structured progressive database of plans like TrainerRoad
How do you use Sufferfest?

IIRC both Greppers and Argie had TI coaching in the past.

I tried it TRO , it did improve my swimming slightly from totally shit to shit
I know a few people who use sufferfest, good for standalone sessions if that is your mentality

I did a TI course a couple of years back and I am an efficient swimmer (I think!) I just want to be faster!
Sufferfest does a lot of training plans now - I got 3 mths free with my new smart trainer so signed up for the year thinking winter and all that
I like that it explains why you are doing stuff and also the "comedy" elements
I did a zwift trial and didn't get on with it. I train before work or at lunch (whenever that is) so can't meet up on zwift either

This is Deenzy's old TI book. Swapped it for a POSE book so I swapped one book I didn't need for another I didn't need 🤣
Happy to post it on to anyone that might be interested as I won't be using it.
