Editorial Reviews
Review
"
"""Many thanks to Mel and Dave for continuing Doc's unselfish tradition of sharing knowledge with others. Having a complete book specific to the mature swimmer is a great motivator. Look out, Mel!"""
Bill Mulliken
Olympic gold medalist, 200-meter breaststroke (1960)
"""This is a unique study of Masters swimming that covers all aspects of the subject in a logical, readable form. The book is filled with information that will benefit even the most experienced Masters swimmer. It should be added to all team libraries and read by all Masters swimmers and triathletes. I found the chapters on dryland training and on prevention and treatment of injuries to be especially informative, interesting, and relevant for me. The authors have put together a book that will appeal to the many Masters and adult fitness swimmers who are active in different ways in this wonderful sport. It is long overdue."""
