Swimming Anatomy: Your Illustrated Guide for Swimming Strength, Speed, and Endurance

Very informative book with great pictures of muscle groups. Quick despatch would recommend seller

A must to have book for any swimmer who wish to get better and improve. This is not a swim coaching guide but it covers explanation and exercise for every muscle involved in swimming. If you are being told to improve a particular movement in your stroke, this book can tell you what muscle inside your body drive that movement and how you can train those muscles to get better output. The book has illustrations on every page which makes is less boring and easier to understand.

I'm a Masters swimmer and have been out of the water for some time. I bought this book to "fast track" myself back into fitness. I think it is fair to say that the book contains _no_ new exercises; however what the book does, and does *really well*, is show you why an exercise is good for certain parts of your swim stroke.Having read it end-to-end in a couple of hours I produced a couple of strength training regimes to work through. I would recommend this book to pretty much any swimmer who wants to do something to complement their pool training.

Love the book. Explains another side of swimming both in and out of the water. Very informative.

Arrived fast, great illustrations and a good idea to show which exercises target which strokes. It is a little bit difficult to understand in places.

Great for young swimmers looking to understand the mechanics of swimming.

I rate this book highly. In the main section (all chapters after the first) it has detailed descriptions and images of exercises for the major muscle groups involved in the four strokes plus starts and turns. Very useful.
