5.0 out of 5 stars This book is a wonderful assset to swimmers of all abilities, 14 Oct 1998

By A Customer

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!

3.0 out of 5 stars Basic swimming book, 14 Aug 1999

By A Customer

If you have just started swimming, then this book suits you well. I find the approach a bit too basic for a regular swimming. Otherwise, this book may be too basic and too limiting with the drawn pictures of the the strokes.
