5.0 out of 5 stars The Book to Improve With, June 7, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Competitive Swimming: Techniques for Champions (Sport's Illustrated Winner's Circle Books) (Paperback)

As a swimmer i know it is hard to find the right book to improve your stroke. This book did just that for me. This book has the right technics that exceptionaly improved my stroke. If you are looking to improve your stroke this is the book to read. There are many other books on the market that are also very good but, this book tops the charts. I recomend this book to swimmers of all ages thought it might be harder for younger children under 10 to comprehend with. And in conclusion i will say this book is the way to go when improving technics and getting out the quirks in your strokes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect swimming techniques, March 30, 2000

This review is from: Competitive Swimming: Techniques for Champions (Sport's Illustrated Winner's Circle Books) (Paperback)

This book provides a wealth of technique information & helped me to progress from being a very average swimmer, having not set foot in a pool for ten years, to having the confidence to compete in a national carnival within just six months. This book inspires confidence and provides simple to follow techniques that really do work and will give you a stylish stroke and kick for life. I couldn't recommend this book more strongly, both to swimmers who are just starting out, as well as to older swimmers who are building up courage to reenter the swimming circuit.
