«Outstanding!!!»
I purchased Fitness Swimming 3 months ago and it has already made a HUGE difference in my swimming (e.g.improved technique and application in the water) I began swimming last year and took one-on-one lessons. As is often the case, good intentions (from both the instructor who had not read Fitness Swimming and learner) do not translate into good results. I took another series of lessons from another instructor last fall and continued to build poor habits. Fitness Swimming got me back on the right track, established 'good' habits, and my swimming has improved dramatically. In addition to one the most thoughtful, organized and well written books which I have ever read - and I read a lot - this book is truly outstanding. I rarely right reviews on this site; however, I am confident that you will not be disappointed in your purchase of this wonderful book.

«great book but not for»
This is a well written very well thought out book. Not only is it informative you learn how to think about swimming and training in a very productive manner .
This is not light reading but if you want to swim well and to do so for many many years then technique is critical. While this does not replace getting a real coach it does help you understand the process of becoming a fit swimmer that has proper form.
My only mistake was getting this on Kindle and I wish that there was a webpage with some printable tables and forms to help me design the workout . Going back and forth on the Kindle is a pain .
Nevertheless I am so taken by the writer that I plan on getting a copy of the book so I can crack it open and take notes .
Sitting on the shelf this book will not help you but if you read it and work with the materiel it is very very productive piece of work ,
Swimming , like Yoga, will sustain you for years so invest the time money and effort get the book and apply yourself to the practice .
Well written , well planned well worth it
