An illustrated swimming manual.The technique of the Front crawl.

Since the beginning of the formal practice of swimming at the end of the 19th century, the technique has evolved greatly and despite the great advances driven by the science of biomechanics, it cannot be said that there is a single way to swim. However, a consistent set of aspects are common to all efficient, high-level competitive swimmers. These include the orientation of the body and the coordination of all movements, in an environment that represents great challenges.
The present work, tries to explain through illustrations and simple explanations the most important aspects for the mastering of the Crawl stroke, the fastest of all those developed in the history of swimming.

Who it is intended for It contains very detailed explanations of very specific aspects that will be of great help to instructors and coaches as a means to explain the technique of the crawl stroke to their students and athletes. However, the numerous illustrations and the simple, straightforward language of the book make it accessible to both advanced and beginner swimmers.
