Swim Speed Secrets: For Swimmers and Triathletes Paperback – Import, 24 May 2012

this book is for the competitive athelete or hobbyist who already know how to swim but wants to inprove speed. Any excellent book that covers the technical aspects of swimming making it possible for anyone to pick up and apply.

Nicely described

I thought the book very well written. The pictures were plentiful.

I swam competitively till 16. After 21 years (i am 37 now) without swimming i decided to return and went to some coachs, teachers and clinics, all of then wasted so much time on glide, elbow recovery, core etc. after reading Taormina’s book and implement her drills to my training i Improved my 100 freestyle by 10seconds… after 90 days back on swimming focusing on her drills i am doing 100 free under 1 minute, and during practice my 100s has been 1:10 without huge effort…great book. And u need only one afternoon to read and decide to implement her drills

Theories behind the techniques and concepts are backed up by her own experience and observations of athletes she coaches.

Really good, the images are very helpful to compare the differences in techniques and the advantages it implies. I give it as a gift and she likes it a lot.

Sono un nuotatore Master piuttosto esperto e colleziono libri sul nuoto. Questo parla delle cose essenziali, fondamentalmente della prima fase di presa d’acqua nello stile libero (the catch), che vale da sola l’80% di tutta la bracciata. Consigliabile a tutti quelli che nuotano seriamente e non hanno fatto agonismo da giovani.
