I bought these drill cards with a DVD, so I’m sure that together they make a good option. However, I’m not sure how helpful the cards would be by themselves.
These drill cards were definitely not worth the price. The explanations are minimal and don’t do much to assist with the Total Immersion method. Stick to the books and you’ll be happier.
If you are learning with the TI method and you have the Total Immersion book and one of the DVDs, these are a useful aid to have in your pool bag for review right before you hop in. That said, I don’t recommend actually taking them to poolside. Even one splash on them while you are hanging on the edge of the pool will quickly coat all the cards, stick them together, and require you to disassemble the book from the ring and dry them out. They won’t be damaged, but leave them on the bleachers if you don’t want a hassle. Overall, they definitely stay in my bag and get used before most sessions. And that makes them a good thing because I am learning and practicing and not just doing laps.
