Froggy Learns to Swim
Jonathan London
Puffin
, 1997
Froggy & skills mastery
I agree with the other reviews that this book is especially splendid in it's illustrations, text and message. Like many young children, Froggy is fearful of the water (and, presumably, other new experiences). However, by taking it at his own pace, and with the ...
Swimming Fastest
Ernest W. Maglischo
Human Kinetics Publishers
, 2003
Swimming Faster
As a former swimming coach of elite swimmers, I consider this to be the gold standard on competitive swim training. It is the modern successor to Dr. Jim Cousilman's classic, "The Science of Swimming". This volume should be a required reference for all competitive ...

Solid drills that definitely work

Great for those who forget how many laps we have swam
I like this book for the sheer reason that when I swim longer workouts, I tend to forget how many yards/meters I have done after I get out of the pool. By having this poolside, I can do the various workouts and then know the total distance covered. The variety of ...

I'D GIVE THIS BOOK TEN STARS IF I COULD!
I love this book! The awkward sex scenes were fabulous. I loved the blast from the past. Growing up on the East Coast I did not know how much fun they were having in California! My drug-filled teens did not compare to the excitment that the boys and girls were ...
