Customer reviews for 'Open Water Swimming'

«An excellent book»

An excellent book either for beginner or advanced open water swimmers. This book cover all itens since preparation, trainning up to the day of competition. The book presents trainning for short and long distance for your better preparation. Easy and funny to read, this book still describes real stories (some of them motivational) of long distance competitions, like English Channel.

«Open-Water Swimming for Dummies»

Good book for beginners and newbies. More of a technical manual, than a story.

«Open water coach»

I used the book to prepare for my first open water 2,000 metre race off the beach last year. Its well written, interesting, full of tips and easy to read - it certainly helped me become a better and more confident open water swimming and would recommend it to all us amateur open water enthusiasts!
