The Swimming Strokes Book: 82 Easy Exercises For Learning How To Swim The Four Basic Swimming Strokes

by Mark Young

PLEASE NOTE: THIS BOOK IS A COMPILATION OF MARK’S FOUR BOOKS “HOW TO SWIM FRONT CRAWL, BACKSTROKE, BREASTSTROKE AND BUTTERFLY”
Learning how to swim can be a frustrating experience sometimes, especially for an adult. Kick with your legs, pull with your arms, breathe in, and breathe out and do it all at the right time. Before you know it you’ve got a hundred and one things to think about and do all at the same time or in the right sequence.
The Swimming Strokes Book is designed to break each stroke down into its component parts, those parts being body position, legs, arms, breathing and timing and coordination. An exercise or series of exercises are then assigned to that part along with relevant teaching points and technique tips, to help focus only on that stroke part.
Although it is not the same as having a swimming teacher with you to correct you, this book perfectly compliments lessons or helps to enhance your practice time in the pool. The 82 exercises form reference sections for each swimming stroke, complete with technique tips, teaching points and common mistakes for each individual exercise.
Clear, concise and easy-to-follow.
