5.0 out of 5 stars The best swimming book in the world since 1993., September 17, 1999

By	Nik "cavanaugh84" (Athens Greece) - See all my reviews

There are approximately 10 "swimming nations'. US along with Japan, Hungary, Australia, UK and Sweden is one of these nations that have a rich swimming tradition and continuous participation in Olympic swimming events since the 1896 Olympics. Professor Maglischo comes out of this rich US tradition. This book is without any doubt the best ever written on the sport. For all of us that read and collect swimming books it is not strange that Prof. Maglischo wrote this magnificent book. The first edition of Swimming Even Faster (Swimming Faster 1982) was a best seller for almost 11 years and it was the best swimming book ever written before this edition appeared. I hope that prof. Maglischo will prepare for us the next edition of this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book....very thorough, September 6, 1999

By	S. Siegel - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am a multi-sport athlete trying to get into swimming. I borrowed this book from a friend to help me with my swimming (and once I had it, I had to buy a copy for myself!!!), as I am truly a beginner. This book nails down, in great detail, technique for efficient swimming. It gets technical at times, but I believe this book is a must have for swimmers (or swimming coaches) of all levels. Great book!!! Very thorough!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars great for swimmer parents too, January 30, 2000

By	Mark Grinnell "mpgmich" (New Hudson, MI USA) - See all my reviews

i am a dad with a freshman son on the high school varsity swim team...this book is superb not only for the swimmer but also for parent(s) who are looking for more insight into how to help prepare their son/daughter for the complicated sport of swimming...i agree with other reviewers in that it can be technical...especially for a freshman but it is very readable by a motivated, non-swimming parent
