Synopsis
This work is a reference on competitive swimming, including information on stroke technique and training methods for swimming. This updated edition includes new photographs of world-class swimmers that make it easy to visualize proper techniques. It provides technique analysis of the four primary strokes: front crawl; backstroke; breaststroke; and butterfly. It also provides the physiology behind the most effective training methods, detailed sample workouts and training programmes for each event.
