This product would be good for someone who did not know the basics about dryland, but for someone with a solid background in weight training, it offered nothing I did not already know. "Ultimate" is a misnomer, a better title would be "Basic Fundamentals of Weight Training". The approach was very old-school, I was looking for more updated training techniques. I found "Complete Conditioning for Swimming" by Dave Salo to be far superior.

My Daughter Loved this book, It has Helped her GREATLY.

THANK YOU

The book is a pathetic collection of cuts and pastes, very poor quality black and white pictures, and a bunch of pages filled with meaningless charts. Its a rip off.

A complete waste of $10!!!!! IDK what the author's swimming background was, hope he is not coaching age group swimmers!

I strongly recommend this book. I've been using it for just one month and I see the improvement in my swimming workouts!!

I have read tons of weight training books over the years, but never one as specifically focused as this one! Every swimmer out there would benefit from reading this book. The program has results that you can notice within weeks.

I found that this book increased my speed, strength, and endurance. Often times, by increasing strenght, swimmers lose efficiency in their strokes. I found that this book did a great job increasing stroke power, while reiterating the need to maintain stroke efficiency. A GREAT BUY!

This book is an excellent training guide for the swimmer at any level. I have been swimming for many years and after reading this book I have taken my skills to a higher level. I feel much stronger in the pool and my endurance has really increased. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book to anyone who loves to swim.

Of all the training books out there today, this is the only one i have seen that really speaks to the swimmer specifically! This is an invaluable resource for any swimmer or coach. I would recommend this to the novice swimmer or a pro. Two thumbs up!
