Terry Laughlin invested the total Immersion (Fishlike) Swimming Education Method (TIFSEM). After a long term observed on teachers and students’ front craw stroke (freestyle) teaching and learning process, TIFSEM had a better improvement. Although TIFSEM does improve most of the inefficient parts of traditional Taipei city Level B swimming instructor education method, however, there are still some parts that can be improved and corrected. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to discuss on the teaching learning efficiency differences between TIFSEM and Taipei city Level B swimming instructor education method. The study was qualitative-oriented and the data was collected by focus group and interview. There were 20 objectives invited to join the focused group and also had interview afterward; the researcher also interviewed 2 experts for the study. For the data trustworthiness, the researcher used the triangulation method. The results of this study showed as following: 1. TIFSEM decomposes the teaching and learning steps more reasonable at changing breath action and teachers and students can understand it easier. 2. TIFSEM more focuses on the balance of front/back and left/right. Teachers and students don’t need to practice lots of strength training as the traditional method. 3. TIFSEM obviously saves lots of time to learn the action of changing breath. 4. There are still some strengths and weakness of two methods need to be explored. The researcher suggests that adapting the advantages of TIFSEM and merging into the traditional swimming education method can inhance freeatyle swimming skill and learning effectiveness.
