Editorial Review:

The material in this book has been presented with the idea of aiding beginning coaches and beginning competitors, as well as improving the performances of advanced swimmers and divers. To this end, the technique of each stroke and dive is presented in some detail. where technique and form are somewhat involved, the authors have attempted to present each phase in a clear, logical and orderly sequence so that both the high school and college athlete can easily understand the discussion. The diagrams presented in this book were secured almost entirely from an underwater movie study of some of the world's greatest swimmers. these underwater motion picture studies, taken through underwater windows, have opened a new technique in the swimming world.

If you have learned to swim and you want to do more, then you start swim training. This book will help you with that.

As in the previous book "Learning Swimming" the dolphin girl "Fini" will be at your side, offering support and advice. You will find out how to improve your fitness level specifically for swimming, how training on land can be helpful, and how to prepare for a swim meet. In addition to all of the swimming information you will also find useful tips on nutrition, equipment, and life saving in the water. The easy to read text and descriptive illustrations, as well as the many opportunities to make personal entries, make this book an important training companion.

Editorial Review:

A forthright biography of Australia's most successful and controversial swimming coach. Don Talbot's story is unique - over the fifty years he has been coach to almost every gold medallist and great name in Australian swimming. Talbot has also been pivotal to Australia's rise in standing as a nation of highly competitive swimming champions. Still, he's come under fire for both his coaching methods and his run-ins with swimming bureaucracy. A fascinating read.
