5.0 out of 5 stars excellent compendium of history, theory, and style, January 5, 1997
By A Customer
this may be by far one of the most in depth volumes on swimming available. It not only covers strokes, but history of them, evolution, training tips, science & research and more! there is so much information in here, and so well documented, it would take weeks to assimilate it all. highly recommended... and i give it a 9 only because there is no suc thing is a 10

5.0 out of 5 stars Swimming Into The 21st Century a Dynamic Compendium, July 24, 2001
By P. T. Jecko (Chatham, New Jersey USA) - See all my reviews
Cecil Colwin has produced an encyclopedia of information about competitive swimming, and he has presented it in such a readable format that anyone interested in the sport will find challenging ideas, well-documented and engagingly illustrated, on almost every page. The book is a treasure!

5.0 out of 5 stars For a newer, updated version with more technique information
Try Colwin's new book, Breakthrough Swimming. Swimming Into the 21st Century is going out of print, but Colwin's new book is even better.
