- informative
This book is a good reference for both beginners and advanced swimmers. Explains the science behind swimming in a technical yet simple manner that is easy to understand. I will recommend this to people interested in anything to do with swimming.
- Way too long and wordy
This book is way too long and way too wordy. It could easily be about 1/4 the size. I think the content is fine, but quite tedious to read all the babble to get to the point. Also, the book is far too light on illustrations. I recommend skipping this book and get the DVD.

-the book gives you drills to reinforce the most efficient way to swim
-the book is very scientific and the info is based on hydrodynamics
The book covers a lot of ground,... more info
