Podcasts about Total immersion

This week I'm thrilled to be talking with Allegra Goodman, author of numerous novels including her newest, “Isola,” which was a Reese's book club selection, and her first, “Katterskill Falls,” which was a National Book Award finalist. Allegra also wrote two story collections, “The Family Markowitz” and “Total Immersion,” as well as a novel for younger readers, “The Other Side of the Island.” Allegra's fiction has appeared in “The New Yorker” and has been anthologized in “O. Henry Awards” and “Best American Short Stories.” She was raised in Honolulu and now lives with her family in Cambridge, Mass. We covered: - Getting published for the first time as a freshman in college by an encouraging editor who “discovered” her - How it's a love of writing, and not a drive to be published, that will sustain you over the long-term - Learning to build patience and endurance when going from writing short stories to writing novels - Her case for setting very low daily writing goals - Why she doesn't ascribe to the “shitty first draft” school of thought - Her daily and weekly writing routines - How having grown children makes those routines possible - Why she only works on shorter pieces one day per week - The specific times when she'll listen to a podcast—and when she'll choose to keep her ears podcast-free - The nightly ritual that helps her get started on work the next day - How non-digital activities feed her creative process - The benefits and mechanics of writing two books at the same time Connect with Allegra on Instagram @allegragoodmanwriter.

Today I talked to Alegra Goodman about her novel Isola (The Dial Press, 2025) After Marguerite is orphaned as a young girl, her guardian leaves her alone in her family's enormous home, where servants see to her needs until he hires a mother and daughter to tutor her in the ways of wealthy 16th century lords and ladies. The guardian sells her home and spends her fortune, betting on an expedition to New France (now known as Canada). The guardian insists that she accompany him, only with her old maid. Afraid and lonely, Marguerite befriends her guardian's secretary and falls in love with him, but the guardian learns of it and abandons her, her maid, and his secretary on a deserted island. Marguerite is forced to learn survival skills in this tale based on a true story. Allegra Goodman's novels include Isola (2025), Sam (a Read With Jenna Book Club selection), The Chalk Artist (winner of the Massachusetts Book Award), Intuition, The Cookbook Collector, Paradise Park, and Kaaterskill Falls (a National Book Award finalist). Her fiction has appeared in The New Yorker and elsewhere and has been anthologized in The O. Henry Awards and Best American Short Stories. She has written two collections of stories, The Family Markowitz and Total Immersion and a novel for younger readers, The Other Side of the Island. Her essays and reviews have appeared in The New York Times Book Review, The Wall Street Journal, The New Republic, The Washington Post, The Boston Globe, and The American Scholar. Raised in Honolulu, Goodman studied English and philosophy at Harvard and received a PhD in English literature from Stanford. She is the recipient of a Whiting Writer's Award, the Salon Award for Fiction, and a fellowship from the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced study. She lives with her family in Cambridge, Mass.

Click one of the sign-up links in our show notes today!  Ask A Coach: What's the most important part of the swim stroke? Hint, it's not the stroke. It's F.A.S.S.T. Setup (Rich): Swimming 101 in college, private in-pool lessons, professional assessments with video and coaches (eg, Swim Labs), reading books, Total Immersion, the pro in the lane next - these are all some of the ways that I tried to improve my swimming technique and form.    In July of 2022, I was invited to Dallas with the TriDot coaches at that time to pilot the TriDot Pool School. This was a program that had been in development for years and the coaches were going to be the students/subjects.   The greatest problems to overcome are drag and balance. At the core of the program is the foundation of the swim position that occurs between strokes. In fact, this program spends 90% of its focus on that position between strokes and maybe 10% on the stroke itself.   We are going to introduce the components of this position which we affectionately call F.A.S.S.T. Fingers flat and forward Arm stretched straight Shoulders and hips at 45 degrees Spine aligned from tail to crown with head facing down Thumb to thigh with palm to sky To really learn the FASST method, it helps to have long blade fins, snorkel and nose clips. Here are some links to what I generally suggest and are common at the pool schools. Amazon.com : Speedo Unisex-Adult Swim Training Fins : Sports & Outdoors Amazon.com : Speedo unisex adult Swim Training Bullet Head diving snorkels, Shocking Lime, One Size US : Sports & Outdoors Amazon.com : TYR Ergo Swimclip - Black : Nose Plugs : Sports & Outdoors   The nose clips are to keep water out of your nose while using the snorkel.   Get Gritty Tip: The Power of a Misogi Challenge What if you did something so difficult, so uncertain, that there was a real chance you might fail? That's the essence of *Misogi*—an ancient Japanese practice redefined by modern thinkers as a way to push boundaries, build resilience, and redefine what's possible.   The rule? Pick a challenge so big and audacious that there's at least a 50% chance you won't succeed. It should be something far outside your comfort zone, forcing you to confront your limits—and then go beyond them.   For multi-sport athletes, a *Misogi* isn't just about physical endurance. It's about mental toughness, adaptability, and proving to yourself that you're capable of more than you think. Maybe it's your first ultra-distance event, a self-supported adventure, or a challenge that removes the usual metrics and expectations.   For the everyday human? A *Misogi* might mean committing to something that genuinely scares you—signing up for a triathlon when you don't see yourself as an athlete, tackling a project at work that feels beyond your skillset, or even showing up in a space where imposter syndrome tells you you don't belong.   Here's the truth: You don't grow by doing what you already know you can do. Growth happens when you face uncertainty and decide to take the leap anyway.   So, what's *your* Misogi for 2025?     TriDot Workouts of the Week:  To kickoff our February theme on swimming, let's start with a TriDot Swim workout. Since this is an Assessment Week for both April and I, we thought we'd share the Critical Swim Speed assessment. We'll explain what the session is, how to pace it for your best results, how to calculate your Critical Swim Speed and how to track your progress. Warmup 4 x 25 Kicking With or Without Fins (15 sec) 4 x 25 FASST with Breathing (15 sec) 4 x 25 Pinocchio-Glove (15 sec) 4 x 25 FASST-1-FASST (15 sec) 4 x 25 Finger-Tip Drag Drill (15 sec) 4 x 25 Full Stroke Swimming Build to Z4 (15 sec)     Main Set 200 swim starting slow and gradually building pace from Z2 to Z4 for final 50; rest 2 min 1. Perform a 400 time trial effort from a push (not dive). 2. Recover for 10 to 15 minutes with easy swimming and rest. 3. Perform a 200 time trial effort from a push. Be sure to count your laps correctly. Your 400 time should not be faster than twice your 200 time. Balance of time @ Z2 with excellent form Be sure to enter/confirm your assessment results to update your training intensities and race projections.     Cool Down Balance of time @ Z2 and/or repeat warm up drills as time permits. How to calculate your CSS? Critical Swim Speed (CSS) is a measure of a swimmer's aerobic capacity and is calculated using the following formula: CSS (m/sec) = 200 / (time taken for 400m – time taken for 200m). CSS in meters per second can also be calculated using the following formula: CSS (m/sec) = (D2 - D1) ÷ (T2 - T1), where D1 = 50, D2 = 400, T1 = time for 50m swim in seconds and T2 = time for 400m swim in seconds. Swimming fast can be simplified into a physics equation: (S)peed = Stroke (L)ength x Stroke (R)ate. How to track your CSS? Use TriDot and let it do it automatically. Plus keep a SwimDot score of your percentile ranking, normalized and banded to show you against your peers. Keep a spreadsheet and build this formula into it.  We are happy to email you the CSS Logbook which includes a way to track what your 400 and 200 paces were, the ratio between the two and more. Simply go to the G2G Contact Us Page and send with the subject line CSS and we will get that right over to you. Guess what, Rich! It's that special time of the show where we have some fun as I take you through some fun and maybe, “not-so fun dilemmas.” It's time for…!  Today's Fun Segment: Like It, Love It, or Leave It! (Pool Edition) How It Works: You give your guest three pool-related training experiences. They must "Like It" (it's fine), "Love It" (can't get enough), or "Leave It" (never again!) by assigning one to each category. 1. Lane Etiquette Dilemmas Swimming with someone who constantly touches your feet Circle swimming with five strangers in a lane Getting stuck behind a slow swimmer with no passing room 2. Swim Gear Struggles Goggles that fog up mid-set A swim cap that keeps slipping off Wearing a wetsuit in the pool for “race simulation” 3. Pool Training Drills Endless kickboard drills Hypoxic breathing sets (fewer breaths per lap) Sighting practice in the pool (aka, looking like a dolphin) 4. Post-Swim Realities Smelling like chlorine for the rest of the day That intense hunger that hits 10 minutes after getting out Wet hair dripping down your back no matter how well you towel off 5. Annoying Pool Habits The person who sprints past you, then immediately slows down Mid-lane conversations that block the wall when you're trying to turn Someone doing butterfly in a crowded lane 6. Swim Set Preferences 10x100s on a tight interval A long, slow continuous swim IM (individual medley) even though you're only here for freestyle 7. Unexpected Pool Hazards That mystery warm spot in the water Hairballs floating toward you mid-lap The moment your goggles snap right before the main set   Closing: Thanks again for listening this week.  Please be sure to follow us @303endurance and of course go to iTunes and give us a rating and a comment.  We'd really appreciate it!

One rainy night after a festival, Bobby and his friend spotted a hot pink parachute left in a park. As water skiers wanting a parachute for para-skiing, they decided to take it. Bobby climbed a tall tree to cut it down but fell 25–30 feet.During the fall, Bobby experienced what he believes was a near-death experience, finding himself in a peaceful, divine light free from physical burdens. Meanwhile, his panicked friend revived him by pounding on his chest, bringing him back to life.Later diagnosed with a concussion, Bobby couldn't recall the fall but discovered similar near-death experiences in books, leaving him convinced he may have briefly died.

In this session of Healing School 2024, Pastor Dale discusses the benefits of making time to immerse oneself in the Word of God, especially when fighting the good fight of faith for healing.

You must have a plan to succeed in your real estate business. Going into it blindly will set you up for failure; of course, this is something you want to avoid. Listen to this episode of "The Real Estate Sales Podcast" to help you develop a strategic plan of action to thrive in the changing market. Host Jimmy Burgess emphasizes that the best in the is yet to come and provides a comprehensive approach to ensure continued success and growth.  Let's dive into the key points and actionable steps outlined by Jimmy. Believe in Possibilities Jimmy stresses the importance of belief in one's potential and the possibilities for success in the real estate business.  He encourages realtors to observe others who have achieved greater success, acknowledging that belief influences actions, prompting individuals to pursue uncomfortable tasks confidently in future results. Educate for Success Jimmy highlights education as a crucial component of success.  He prompts real estate professionals to enhance their skills, knowledge, and understanding of the market to align with their beliefs and improve the chances of achieving desired outcomes. Take Action Taking action is vital, and Jimmy advises against waiting for the perfect moment.  He encourages realtors to take steps, expressing that momentum builds as actions are initiated. Control Your Schedule Jimmy underlines the significance of purposeful scheduling, outlining the value of time-blocking for prospecting, learning, and client follow-ups.  Taking control of one's schedule is foundational to advancing a real estate business. Identify and Serve Ideal Clients Understanding and identifying ideal clients is critical in providing valuable services. Jimmy emphasizes the importance of studying ideal clients, learning about their preferences, and seeking to add value to their lives. Differentiate with Unique Value Proposition Real estate professionals must define their unique value proposition to set themselves apart from the competition.  Jimmy explains the significance of differentiating oneself as the obvious choice for potential clients. Total Immersion in Client's World Real estate professionals are encouraged to immerse themselves in their ideal client's world, participating in activities and clubs where their clients are present.  This strategy facilitates building strong connections and understanding client needs, thus enhancing the ability to provide specific and valuable services. Try and Host Open Houses Jimmy advocates for trying various business activities and actively hosting open houses. He highlights that open houses engage potential buyers and sellers and provide insights and opportunities for building a client database. Create Systems for Follow-up Establishing a robust follow-up system to ensure no leads fall through the cracks is essential in converting potential leads into successful business transactions.  Jimmy emphasizes the need for consistent follow-up through various communication channels. Overcome Setbacks Dealing with setbacks is part of the real estate business, and Jimmy advises facing challenges head-on, maintaining a forward-moving mindset, and consistently adding value to the market. Make Calls and Commit to Consistent Effort Create a habit of making real estate-related calls.  Jimmy highlights the direct correlation between these conversations and business transactions. Immerse in Business for 90 Days Jimmy suggests dedicating 90 days to going all-in on one's real estate business, focusing on outbound calls, client understanding, and content production. Jimmy's strategic plan provides a roadmap for realtors to thrive in the current market and surpass previous levels of success, ensuring the best is indeed yet to come. Embrace a higher level of action, continuously improve your skills, and take steps to enhance client service. These actions will help you see the results you want in your business. "The people that overcome anything that this business throws at them, that keep moving forward, that keep adding value, that keep finding ways to bring value to the marketplace, are going to be the people that will have a future that is brighter than their past." - Jimmy Burgess.

Southern Star editor Siobhán Cronin speaks to Melissa Duncan – a 'total immersion' expert and fellow sea swimming fanatic – about a shared love of the sea, building her own swimming pool, and some well-known West Cork names she has coached along the way.Swimming became a lifeline for many during the pandemic, and so many have kept it going, which has left Ireland with a really strong and wonderful community.Total immersion is a technique that involves running through swim strokes in a similar fashion to yoga, with the aim being to move through the water more efficiently.

ON this week's podcast, Southern Star editor Siobhán Cronin speaks to Melissa Duncan – a 'total immersion' expert and fellow sea swimming fanatic – about a shared love of the sea, building her own swimming pool, and some well-known West Cork names she has coached along the way.Swimming became a lifeline for many during the pandemic, and so many have kept it going, which has left Ireland with a really strong and wonderful community.Over the next few months, we will feature interviews with prominent figures in the swimming scene, from both West Cork and beyond.Total immersion is a technique that involves running through swim strokes in a similar fashion to yoga, with the aim being to move through the water more efficiently.

A Christadelphian Video: Description: Biblical baptism is an act full of symbolism. For an adult to be baptised Biblically, they need to be aware that they are sinful, in need of forgiveness, believe the gospel, and to be prepared to be completely immersed in water. This must be followed by living a life after the example of God's Son, Jesus Christ, with the hope of being given eternal life. You can follow us online at..

If you want to make big changes in your life, then a lot of things in your life are going to have to change. The problem is that most people do not like to change things! Most people have big lofty goals but want to change as little as possible. So today, I'm going to offer up an alternative way of doing things, something I call “total immersion.” The post 117. The Power of Total Immersion appeared first on Running Lean with Patrick McGilvray.

Lloyd Henry likes to go big or go home. Thanks to a dare from his sister, Lloyd embarked on a triathlon journey that has brought him to 27 Ironman and long course finishes, the first African-American to finish an Ironman on 6 continents and  the Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii.  Today, Lloyd Henry is not only an accomplished athlete, he is also a coach, helping other athletes learn to accept the challenges that come their way.   As a coach, Lloyd specializes in form and technique with a special emphasis on Total Immersion swimming,  ChiRunning and ChiWalking. He has helped clients learn to swim, improve their stroke, compete in a triathlon, move from the couch to a 5k, finish their first marathon, qualify for Boston and hear those famous words “You Are An Ironman.”  Lloyd's story shares that you don't have to have experience or be an athlete to TRI. You just have to accept the challenge and begin! Listen or view to hear more of his story.  Don't forget to leave a review, share with your friends, and Follow Tri Beginner's luck on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.  And send any questions or feedback you have to  imreadyto@tribeginnersluck.com.     Let's Tri this!

Join us as we continue our series “Hitting the Gym” with week two focusing on ‘Total Immersion". . In this critical start to the new year, we're uncovering the secrets to becoming the best version of who God made us to be and examining a daily set of practices that will help us reach the spiritual goal that God has for all of us. You can do it and we want to help! What if I told you that reading the Bible alone is not enough to produce a lasting change that blesses you and others? Come Sunday to discover what we mean, and to discover the secret to changing everything that isn't godly in your life. We'll also give you a fool-proof way to know how you are doing!

Dean and Paula explain several swimming drills that can be used to increase speed in the water. They make reference to the VeloPress book by Sheila Taormina called Swim Speed Secrets. The drills discussed include: sculling, streamline drill, press out, recovery drill, finish drill, hand entry drill, Tarzan drill, and vertical kicking. They also discuss Total Immersion, gliding, and the high-elbow catch. Also in this episode they discuss: the Mesa Marathon, Boston 2022, Yuko Gordon, and Changpeng Zhao. RyR is a team of runners and triathletes who receive comprehensive and customized coaching. The team name has dual meanings. The first is based in Hebrews 12:1 in which Christians are instructed to run the race set before us. In this context, RyR stands for Run your Race, with an emphasis on meeting you (the athlete) where you are and coming alongside you to help you reach your goals. The verse emphasizes patience, endurance, and perseverance. These qualities are essential for success as both athletes and coaches. The second meaning is based on the enduring friendship and marriage between the founding coaches, Dean and Paula Roberts. In this context, RyR stands for Roberts and Roberts. While our primary mission is to help athletes set and reach fitness and performance goals, we understand that this must occur within the context of each athlete's daily life. We strive to form an individual relationship with each athlete and make sure weekly training fits seamlessly into family life and work schedules.

Friends! Thanks for joining today's meeting,. Today's question is "Why Are We So Hard On Ourselves?" I say we, but I mean me.Life is not designed to hand us success or satisfaction, but rather to present us with challenges that make us grow. Terry Laughlin, founder of Total Immersion. This past summer was a major challenge for me and I thought I had become an expert at managing a crisis, with hip replacements, bankruptcy, heartbreak, tragedies, adopting via foster care, I thought I checked a lot of boxes for painful things. However, this summers challenge involved me spending 4 nights in the Intensive Care Unit at a Children's Hospital with my daughter. It was an expected surgery. I knew we would be in the intensive care unit. It was still terrifying. I still remember the beeping sounds.Good news, my daughter is healing and we got through it. We will likely go back for more surgeries but I will address that when the time comes. Here are 4 things I learned about that experience and I hope these things help you with any challenge you're facing now. 1. Give yourself credit for your wins. You have some wins, even if your win is that you're listening to podcasts and seeking information or ways to get better at managing your life.  You have one, so recognize it.2. You can't wait until you have everything figured out to feel confident. You have to do things that are uncomfortable and solve the problems that you need to solve along the way. This is life.  I am swimming in the unknown and I think this is the ocean I will continue to live in and that's ok. 3. You will make mistakes. Solve them, forgive yourself for errors and move forward. Repeat this cycle as needed, especially the forgiving yourself part.4. Don't be so hard on yourself, you're growing. You're a human being that is growing. Let's start today's meeting.

What a great way to round out Season 2 of the show - Expanding on our look at the Technical side of recreational diving, I'm joined by Ryan Duchatel, JJ CCR Trimix Instructor, cave diver and co-owner of Total Immersion Diving based in Newcastle , Australia.I've found many recreational divers are curious about the tech divers out there and the complex equipment they use.  It seems to be a bit of a dark art and I've regularly heard comments along the lines of "It's for people wanting to dive deep" or "that it is too complex and expensive for me".  The reality is very much to the contrary, technical diving is for anyone who wishes to extend their dives, either in time, depth, range or all of the above.  Ryan talks about the evolution of Total Immersion Diving and provides us with great detail on how a  closed circuit rebreather works and  the many advantages that they provide, such as being able to get closer to wildlife, warmer diving, longer NDL's at all depths, variable partial pressure  Ryan's Links:Websites:totalimmersiondiving.com.aurebreathers.com.auSocial:Total Immersion Diving - FacebookRyans Pro page - FacebookRyans personal page - FacebookWe gave a shout out to the Behind The Mask team during the show as they are supporting and calling for support from you to ban shark finning in the EU,  please follow the link and sign the petition (EU nationals only) Link to the petition

Two Finnish words show us some great teachings. Kanssa means with and Vastaan means against. In the classic book on swimming called Total Immersion, we learn that you want to swim with the water and become slippery not against the water and try to plow your way through like a barge. Same goes for marriage, we should work with our family not against. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thriving-twogether/support

Sound healing is one of the oldest forms of natural relaxation, stress relief and healing and has been practiced in many cultures and civilisations for thousands of years. More recently the emergence of modern sound therapy has lead to an increasing body of research showing the physiological & psychological benefits of sound healing but you only have to hear the sound of the ocean waves or a babbling stream to feel the transformational power and the positive benefits of healing sound. Harmonic vibrations created by overtone-emitting instruments such as tuned percussion, singing bowls & gongs can stimulate the alpha and theta brain waves associated with a deep meditative and restful state that is highly conducive to healing - sound massage for the body, mind & soul. Some of the positive effects of sound healing, sound meditation & gong baths are.. • Induces deep relaxation, calming the mind and helping to release muscle tension • Lowers anxiety & stress and lead to improved sleep • Enhanced mental focus, creativity, concentration, awareness & insight • Awaken a sense of physical and mental harmony and an increased sense of welbeing • Effective natural pain relief and can promote faster recovery from injury & illnesses Create a sonic space for renewal, reflection and transformation with this powerful music, the perfect musical ambience for relaxing at home as well as for #yoga, #pilates, #massage, #healing therapies and #bodywork. Lie down in a warm and comfortable place, and be totally immersed in blissful sound and vibration.

KeyWords: Swimming, Total Immersion, Water, Drills, Injury   We were very excited to get the chance to talk to the creator of Total Immersion swimming, Terry Laughlin, on the show today. An extra bonus was having one of the Master Coaches of Total Immersion, Susan Atkinson join us to add her experience learning TI, Teaching TI and her medical perspective on clients. Swimming is something that can open up traditional swim training but also provide comfort to pursue many other water based sports like surfing, diving, kite-boarding and Kayaking. 

In episode 34, Chris Crowley, author of the Younger Next Year books, talks about how exercise and a healthy lifestyle can turn back the clock … and he's living proof! Chris has been very influential to me over the last decade. He is the New York Times best-selling co– author, with Henry S. Lodge M.D., of Younger Next Year – A guide to Living like 50 until you're 80 and beyond. This book has been instrumental to me for establishing my adaptive fitness training business. It is my bible and number one source for motivating my boomer and beyond clients to establish an active and healthy lifestyle. I love his no BS, non-negotiable approach to the exercise required to truly turn back your biological clock. Chris has also authored Younger Next Year for Women, Thinner Next Year, The Younger Next Year Journal and a soon to be released book on Fitness. Beside an author of books and his Younger Next Year blog, he is also an attorney, a keynote speaker and the host of total immersion retreats in Aspen, Colorado. Needless to say retirement is not in his lexicon. In the interview, Chris answers the following questions: Tell us a bit about who you are and what you do. Your book, Younger next year was very influential to me personally and it obviously is very biographical for you. Can you tell us the story of how you came to write that book? In your teachings you talk about the good life as being a 3 legged stool. What do you mean by that? It has now been 10 years since you wrote Younger next year and obviously you are your own testimonial for your teachings. How has adapting this lifestyle affected your own life up to now? A lot of us boomers find it difficult to adapt to a healthy lifestyle that we can stick with. What do you see as the biggest mistake that most baby boomers make when it comes to trying to establish a healthy lifestyle? In your book, you make references to Kedges. What are Kedges and why are they so important? You also started to host retreats in Aspen, Colorado. Can you tell us a bit about these total immersion and mini retreats? Do you have any parting advice that you'd like to share with your fellow boomers?
