5.0 out of 5 stars
Great help for a new coach!,
By Rebecca (Imperial, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Coaching Swimming Successfully (Paperback)
This book has helped me immensely. I have swam all my life and now have the opportunity to coach a high school team. So, having the right words to explain the techniques to the students is very helpful and this book has been a great source for that. I recommend this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the greatest books on Swimming around,
By A Customer
This review is from: Coaching Swimming Successfully (Paperback)
I picked up this book in desperation. I had tried many books on swim coaching and many were out of date, simplistic, and outright useless. In Coach Hannula's book, I found a work that was worthy of it's title. Mr. Hannula has extensive knowledge of his subject and it shows in his writing. Mr. Hannula dots the book with useful and sometimes amusing aniqudotes. This book can help beginning to advanced swimmers and coaches.
