Feeling Lazy? The typical swim book focuses on technique, this book's emphasis is on training; how to train your body to be that of an elite swimmer so that in practice each day, you don't have to grind out the monotonous 10,000 yards to make small improvements. Instead, you will be fast because fast is all you care about. Let's be honest, sometimes you just have to look the part. This book includes what to focus on both in and outside the pool to streamline one's efforts and achieve faster times. This is an invaluable tool for Collegiate swimmers, the average Masters swimmer, or beginner Triathlete in search of improving their times outside of the leadership of their day-to-day swim coach.
