Approaching Perfect Swimming Ebook Series
The Approaching Perfect Swimming Ebook Series includes:
-
- Optimal Freestyle Technique
- Optimal Stroke Technique
- Swimming Without Pain
- Technique Misconceptions
All the technique elements presented in this book are based on principles of physics and decades of research, including thousands of trials using synchronized video and force-measurement technology. These books are based on more than 30 years of research. These books are also supported by specific experience in coaching (from age group to college level), consulting with domestic and international swim teams, and the author’s work with individual swimmers at every performance level (from beginners to world record holders).
Keep in mind that improving your technique is the ONLY way to reach your full swimming potential and avoid the repetitive motion injuries so common in swimmers. Unfortunately, early success in competition usually results in an increase in training distance at the expense of continuing technique adjustment. (Swimming may be the only sport in which training quality (a focus on performing with an effective technique) is often sacrificed for quantity (training distance)! The greater the training distance, the more important it is to emphasize technique. An emphasis on quality both avoids injury and reinforces positive technique elements.
