Better Technique = Better Swimming I'm not a big swimmer, but I heard so much about this book that I had to check it out- and I'm glad I did. This book will save a lot of people who are trying to learn to swim better a lot of time. Here's why: -the book concentrates on swimming technique, correct position, and how you're suppose to feel in the water
-the book gives you drills to reinforce the most efficient way to swim
-the book is very scientific and the info is based on hydrodynamics The book covers a lot of ground,... more info
YOU MUST FINISH THE BOOK..PLEASE! While i completely agree with the prognosis that the first 100 pages are mostly a self promotion exercise, this book will totaly change your swimming ability, both in open water and the pool.

Strung out and waffly - hoping it has potential I'm sure this book has potential, as the reviews suggest, but it is very waffly and there is a lot of hype in the book. The first few chapters kept talking about how revolutionary the idea is and how it really works. After a few chapters of this, I got bored and impatient and put the book down. I hope that once I've overcome these frustrations, I'll try to reference the necessary information, which I'm sure is very useful.
Persist with the book please! If you are like me - a cheap student who likes to teach themselves everything, this book is perfect! yes it can be alot to get through, especially the 1st 100 pages! But the drills are excellent, I have made such and improvement in only a few days. Not only that but i enjoy swimming now! and manage to find the time to go everyday! where before I used to dread it! for 5.99 what have you got to loose? you will not be dissappointed!
