The Swimming Drill Book
This book is well written and illustrated. There are easy to practise drills wich state 1) the purpose of the drill, 2) the procedure to follow and 3) the focus points to concentrate on to achieve body position. The author has covered the four swimming strokes, the starts, turns and finishes in an easy to cognitively assimulate style of writing. Overall if you wish to improve your swimming strokes the practise drills in this book will aid your endevours, all you need is to practise, practise and then practise.

Shows good drills, but nothing spectacular, Most Coaches with experiance will know all of them in the book. It is written more to the swimmer than the coach, which gets annoying after a while. The drills tend to be more geared to people just learning to swim competitivly than the more nit picking fixs for strokes that I was looking for. However for my JR. Team, I have been using the book and my assistant that tends to coach them and has just started coaching has used it So For beginners, its fine, but if you are looking for more advansed drills, look else where

This book is quite good for a review of the majority of strokes - great help to coaches and swimmers. It cover's about 90% of all the drills I have ever seen in my swimming lifetime.

THIS IS A GREAT BOOK TO ASSIST THE BEGINNER TO ADVANCED SWIMMER. FANTASTIC FOR THE SWIM TEAM STUDENT TRYING TO IMPROVE STROKE PERFORMANCE.

The Swimming Drill Book is very well illustrated and clearly explains how to get the best out of each swimming drill. It covers all four basic swimming strokes as well as starts and turns and the diagrams help to make each drill clear. There is nothing revolutionary in this book but it covers enough for the average basic swimmer to be able to fine-tune their swimming strokes in a clear and concise way. Recommended to anyone wanting to improve their swimming technique.

I went looking for something to break the monotony of endless lap swimming and this drill book fits the bill. Filled with desciptions and diagrams of drills, now my time in the pool will be more productive and enjoyable!

As other readers said, this is a good book for basic fundamentals. But nothing beyond that. It is good to read it.

I'd have given a 4 rating, but the illustrations/drawings are bad. I prefer good photos. But time to cut down cost....

it's really useful and well designed, with very clear images...
you need it to improve your swimming technique...

I purchased this book thinking it would help me with my adult learn-to-swim classes. It did in a round about way. I would purchase this book only if your into drill swimming and need help with the basics.
