keep your money for better books
What a rip off !!!
This book presents a swimming workout in the first chapter, which is even not written by the author of the book.
Then, all other chapters about weight training are not linked at all to swimming. Why this movement and not another ? What is the link between any movement and his stroke ? Nothing is explained.
A basic book on weight lifting not linked AT ALL to swimming.
Try another one.

GREAT SWIMMING BOOK
This book is an excellent training guide for the swimmer at any level. I have been swimming for many years and after reading this book I have taken my skills to a higher level. I feel much stronger in the pool and my endurance has really increased. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book to anyone who loves to swim.

unbeatable
Of all the training books out there today, this is the only one i have seen that really speaks to the swimmer specifically! This is an invaluable resource for any swimmer or coach. I would recommend this to the novice swimmer or a pro. Two thumbs up!

A Real Splash!!
I found that this book increased my speed, strength, and endurance. Often times, by increasing strenght, swimmers lose efficiency in their strokes. I found that this book did a great job increasing stroke power, while reiterating the need to maintain stroke efficiency. A GREAT BUY!
