Customer Reviews

beyond swimming

All of these reviews are accurate. The well written book breaks down swimming into a series of smaller skills and allows you to swim better easier for many many years to come. Moreover the mindful manner in which you are compelled to practice makes this a great metaphor on how you live outside of the pool as well. terry is talented as a swimmer, coach writer and as a visionary. Share this with him and you will be better for it .

Great development of original

As someone who was inspired by Terry Laughlin's first book, I highly recommend this one! I am a former competitive swimmer who now swims for fitness. I was becoming bored with conventional interval-type training, and was looking for new ways to change up my routine with flippers, hand paddles, etc. Terry describes technique training in a refreshing direct way that anyone who wishes to improve their swimming form can understand. I recommend this book to everyone who says to me,"You make swimming look so easy and effortless the way you glide through the water. I wish I could do that!" Finally, someone has articulated what I've intuitively known and was not able to teach or explain.

TI review

An outstanding book notable for it's insights, technical detail, observa- tions and practical lessons. Well worth the price.

Renewed enthusiasm

Built on previous TI books and added some extra hints and rectified what I felt were previous ommisions and inconsistencies in the approach - excellent book that has given immediate results in the pool and given me renewed enthusiasm to improve

Excellent swimming resource

I learned a lot from this book about every stroke. It will be a constant reference and resource book for my triathlon training. Terry Laughlin has a way of making you want to go swimming just for the joy of it. His tips and techniques through drill swimming in a relaxed manner are wonderful for beginning swimmers and master swimmers looking to re-connect with the water. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to swim like a fish.
