His methods have been especially geared towards Masters swimmers and triathletes, who he argued would reap the benefits of getting through their swimming section with a low heart rate. While his system was somewhat controversial, Laughlin&#8217;s principles of efficiency have also been adopted by coaches of age group, collegiate and elite swimmers.<\/p>\n<p>In lieu of flowers, Laughlin&#8217;s family &#8220;will be accepting donations for the Total Immersion Swimming Foundation, a philanthropic arm of the company.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em>Read more about Terry Laughlin and Total Immersion by clicking <a href=\"http:\/\/www.totalimmersion.net\/about-terry-laughlin\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.slowtwitch.com\/News\/Total_Immersion_founder_Terry_Laughlin_dies_at_66_6623.html\" target=\"_blank\">SlowTwitch.com also reported Laughlin&#8217;s passing<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Terry Laughlin, who created the technique-focused swim training system known as &#8220;Total Immersion,&#8221; passed away Friday, Oct. 20, after complications with prostate cancer.
