Summary: Not Specific to Swimming!
Comment: First, let me give the context in which I bought this book. I am a Coach, I bought this book with the hopes of having an easy to reference resource that I could turn to for insight and information, maybe even some new ideas. I have had trainers come in to my program and give lectures, walk us through a program, but never had anything to reference when I had questions, or when the kids had questions I couldn't answer.
I have not seen other books by this publisher/author, but noticed there are weight training books for just about every sport. I would bet the excersises listed for bowling are the same as the excersises for swimming, football, and ping pong! VERY general excersises (squats, curls, etc.), the only excersise I saw remotely specific to swimming was a rotator cuff excersise that a trainer friend of mine told me could be harmful.
What angered me most about my purchase was the title of the book referenced swimming specifically. Yet not anywhere in the book did I see the benefits of an excersize as it relates to swimming. I would have liked to have known how a particular exercise translated into supposed success in the pool for example. Or this excersise was a shoulder injury prevention excersise and why. Maybe something even more general such as how opposing muscle imbalances cause shoulder injuries. SOMETHING. If you are truly looking for something specific to swimming, look elsewhere. If you play or coach multiple sports and want a general program, this book will suffice for all of your sports.

Summary: GREAT SWIMMING BOOK
Comment: This book is an excellent training guide for the swimmer at any level. I have been swimming for many years and after reading this book I have taken my skills to a higher level. I feel much stronger in the pool and my endurance has really increased. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book to anyone who loves to swim.
Rating: 5
Summary: unbeatable
Comment: 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!
