«40 + swimmer»
This is a very useful book for setting up a swimming program on your own. It has lots of workouts for all levels of swimmers. I am training myself for an upcoming open water ocean swim (the book has two chapters just on open water training)I photocopied several pages with great work outs and put them in a plastic bag so I can have them pool side while working out. It is the next best thing to a coach. Don't bother with any other swimming books. Many other books are written for people who have been coached in swimming and know all the "jargon", this one explains what is necessary and keeps it simple.

«review of "The Fit Swimmer" »
The Fit Swimmer in my initial review appears to be an excellent guide to someone willling and able to follow the advice, training programs and tips given in the book. For someone like myself, a super senior (past 75), I appreciate the advice and tips but I am not training for competition but just fitness purposes. I may adapt one of the training programs offered but for now I'll continue my swimming a mile ( freestyle, backstroke and breaststroke mixture) three times a week until I finish the book.

«Simply Great!»
This book is just about everything you will need if you are looking for swimming workouts. It takes you right from the very basics to advanced workouts. It also helps you correct swimming positions. I've already decreased my free style lap time just by making little adjustments. Simply Great!
