Learn the science needed to perfect your stroke, swim faster, and endure for longer. Science of Swimming dives deeper than any other book to examine the muscle groups and bodily systems involved in being an effective swimmer; how they interact with the hydrodynamics of water resistance; and how you can apply this knowledge to streamline your technique and achieve your training goals. Each swim stroke is anatomized so you can analyze and adapt your stroke to swim smarter. Full-spectrum training programs―for all abilities and goals―combine drills, speed work, and endurance with dry-land conditioning routines targeting muscle strength, flexibility, and aerobic intensity. All the latest scientific insights explained, including optimum nutrition, the importance of sleep hygiene, and techniques for mental resilience, to questions about wetsuits and open-water swimming. Whether you're swimming simply for relaxation, competing for a club, training for a distance badge or triathlon, or planning to explore the oceans, Science of Swimming will support you both in and out of the water. Review: Great information - Very informative, my boys are competitive swimmers and to be honest they have been so interested in the graphics and all the explanation and details the book offers. Very nice book for athletes who want to integrate science/ logic to the sport they love. Review: Book - I like how the book is detailed and easy to read ...gave me a good vibe specifically the presentation of the book and it's lovely 😍 colorful figures

Swimming for the millennium
This is the book that modern swim coaches were missing in their library. It looks at swimming through sport science eyes. The science of swimming has evolved in the past 30 years, and this book is the most cutting edge resource on the subject. I highly recommend it for any swimming coach ready to leave the past in the past and dive into the modern science of swimming.

On point and a great starting point to discover more about swimming
Love the graphics, easy and summarized explanations and even the exercises suggested… this is not intended to replace your coach (like apparently other readers expected pffff)… but it’s a great starting point to take your swimming and coaching to another level. Great stuff!!!
