Subject: RE: Drowning your open water demonskbsublime - 2007-05-02 3:58 PM Wow - that's very encouraging! Thanks for posting that! Are the TI weekend workshops really 400 bucks? ![](https://beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/images/emoticons/frown.gif) I think that was what the site said. yes, they are $400. Whether it's worth it depends on you. I started with the TI book, but I had a hard time applying it in the pool. The DVD wasn't much better (again, for me). But when I went to the workshop and had 1 on 1 instruction, it came together. I benefited from having the terms and general idea down (by watching the DVD), but I think even if you went in cold you'd be fine. I justified the cost this way: 10 more lessons from the guy who was helping me would have gotten me no where. The TI workshop ultimately got me swimming. I went from being in the bottom 10% in my AG to being in the top 25% overall. So for me, it was worth it. ![](https://beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/images/emoticons/smile.gif) Edited by Bill 2007-05-02 4:26 PM
