Product Description

Review

"...a remarkable compilation of stroke development drills, based on nine major segments which are systematically presented." -- Cecil Colwin - Member, International Swimming Hall of Fame - Author of Swimming into the 21st Century

"It presents a very good system for teaching and learning the basic technical skills." -- Mike Hastings - 1992 assistant U.S. Olympic Coach - Head Swimming Coach, California Capital Aquatics

Book Description

Competitive swimmers know that even a minor flaw in stroke technique can mean the difference between first and last place in a race. Swimming Drills for Every Stroke gives any swimmer the competitive edge by teaching perfect form for the backstroke, breaststroke, freestyle and butterfly.

Unique in its focus on improving swimmers’ form in the water, Swimming Drills for Every Stroke is the perfect handbook for swimming coaches, parents, and swimmers at all developmental levels.

This training guide provides the essential drills for all four strokes as well as for starts and turns. Accompanied by helpful coaching tips and focus points, these 91 drills enable swimmers to develop more efficient technique for faster times in every event.

The drills show you first how to master the fundamentals, then how to refine each stroke. Swimming Drills for Every Stroke divides each of the drills into four simple steps:

1. Explanation. The method for performing the drill is described in detail. 2. Demonstration. Precise, sequenced illustrations of each drill are included, so you see the proper form and can roughly duplicate it. 3. Correction. Little by little, you rid your form of imperfections. 4. Repetition. Repeating the drill until it becomes second nature enables you to bring your new form from the practice setting to the race.

By following these simple steps, swimmers can master the drills that will help them race to the top of their competitive ranks.

2.0 out of 5 stars Old fashioned, Sep 20 2000

This review is from: Swimming Drills For Every Stroke (Paperback)
This books seems to be directed at beginning swimmers. It's too basic for more experienced swimmers. Addtionally, many of the drills seem a bit dated. I may be a little biased since I am an advocate of the the Total Immersion style of swimming.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too Basic for the Common Coach, Mar 30 2000
This review is from: Swimming Drills For Every Stroke (Paperback)
Though fundamentally strong, this book is extremely simplistic. Anyone who considers themselves a somewhat experienced coach should bypass this title and begin looking elsewhere for a decent drill guide/idea book.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is a wonderful assset to swimmers of all abilities, Oct 13 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Swimming Drills For Every Stroke (Paperback)
In this book, Mr. Guzman presents key drills for each of the swimming strokes, starts, turns, and finishes. The drills presented are clear, easy to understand, and would be of value to swimmer's of any ability level. This is a wonderful compilation of drills from a distinguished coach in the sport of swimming!
