Swimming: Steps to Success - 3rd Edition (Steps to Success Sports Series) Paperback – February 3, 2005

The book explains the basics behind every technique, which is a good thing to know to improve your style. I was able to improve mine following the first couple of chapters. However, starting from freestyle, things became difficult and I was not able to either follow the instructions or improve my freestyle (maybe it is my problem). I switched to total immersion book, till now the difference is clear and I am now able to go back and forth in the pool with minimum effort.

I use this as a textbook for a college beginning swim class. It works well to introduce them to the correct techniques, as well as the reasons for them. It is easily read and gives students the opportunity to check their own progress.

Great book for learning how to swim.

I love this book. As I have no skills as a teacher this book takes me step by step in the process of teaching someone how to swim. I am having great success with my little buddy who is six years of age.

I have always had a fear of swimming but had learned elementary techniques to get used to the water and the feeling of submersion. However, I really did not know proper swimming techniques. This book has helped improve my swimming greatly-from freestyle to the breaststroke (there are other styles taught in the book, as well). My confidence level has increased dramatically.

The guy who owned this before me, deserves a congratulations! He went sky diving and got a certificate for it. Now i'll frame it and pretend I know him as some huge celebrity.

Very complete with goals to meet.

book look great.

I started tolearn to swim 3 months ago, and Ok I've had lessons with a teacher as well, but this book has given me the information that I needed to know on how to do each part of the stroke.You can teach yourself with this book, if you have a friend who could watch at times.I can now swim 25m lengths of the pool in freestyle, and backcrawl, using mostly the drills and technequies in this book.I can't recommend this book enough for the novice, and even those who want to improve there swimming.
