I found "Complete Conditioning for Swimming" by Dave Salo to be far superior.

1.0 out of 5 stars Do not waste your money., September 3, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
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.

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Real Splash!!, January 15, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: The Ultimate Guide to Weight Training for Swimming (The Ultimate Guide to Weight Training for Sports, 25) (The Ultimate Guide to Weight Training for ... ... Guide to Weight Training for Sports, 25) (Paperback)
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!

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!
