Good Book for the Basics Jul 15, 2010
As other readers said, this is a good book for basic fundamentals. But nothing beyond that. It is good to read it.

I'd have given a 4 rating, but the illustrations/drawings are bad. I prefer good photos. But time to cut down cost....

Ok, Not great but ok Oct 15, 2008
Shows good drills, but nothing spectacular, Most Coaches with experiance will know all of them in the book. It is written more to the swimmer than the coach, which gets annoying after a while. The drills tend to be more geared to people just learning to swim competitivly than the more nit picking fixs for strokes that I was looking for. However for my JR. Team, I have been using the book and my assistant that tends to coach them and has just started coaching has used it So For beginners, its fine, but if you are looking for more advansed drills, look else where

For drill swimming Feb 13, 2008
I purchased this book thinking it would help me with my adult learn-to-swim classes. It did in a round about way. I would purchase this book only if your into drill swimming and need help with the basics.

Swimming Drills for technique improvement that worksfor you Nov 08, 2007
The Swimming Drill Book
This book is well written and illustrated. There are easy to practise drills wich state 1) the purpose of the drill, 2) the procedure to follow and 3) the focus points to concentrate on to achieve body position. The author has covered the four swimming strokes, the starts, turns and finishes in an easy to cognitively assimulate style of writing. Overall if you wish to improve your swimming strokes the practise drills in this book will aid your endevours, all you need is to practise, practise and then practise.
