General Advice Appropriate for Beginner to Intermediate,

This review is from: Swimming: Technique, Training, Competition Strategy (Crowood Sports Guides) (Paperback)
Lynn's Swimming: Technique, Training, Competition Strategy (Crowood Sports Guides) provides a general overview of competitive swimming, and I think it would be most appropriate for those just starting out in the sport, or non-competitive swimmers who want to improve.
The pictures are very well-done, especially compared with some other swimming books I have seen, and the writing is clear. Personally, I would have preferred more on technique and less about the rules, nutrition, and so forth. If you are an advanced swimmer (someone already swimming competitively), then this is probably not the book for you.
