Finally, a good book focused on dryland training for swimmers. I got a copy for my sons, both who are competitive swimmers. It's interesting to note that in recent years even swim greats such as Michael Phelps have added dryland strength workouts to their long hours in the pool. As Phelps re-breaks world records he set in previous years, those results speak for themselves. The vast majority of these exercises can be done on a pool deck with minimal gear--elastic tubing, medicine balls, stability ball. The DVD showing how to execute most of the exercises is a nice bonus.

Not everyone of us has a chance in life to be coached under world-classes coaches that these authors are (watching the Olympics, I wondered what my swimming times would have been like have I been coached by Bob Bowman). But this book gives you a chance to get inside their minds and start doing what they do with their swimmers.
NOTE, this is not the book that will teach you anything about stroke technique. Rather, it'll teach you everything else you need to know besides that - how to exercise properly, how to properly stretch, how to warm up and cool down before races, how and when to eat, AND, what I liked the most, how to build a year round training program to help you peak in your swimming times at the right time of the year.
The book is very well written (took me just a day to read through it all), comes with a DVD that will show you all the important moves for your workouts, and overall - perhaps the greatest value for $15 you will find in any swimming product out there.
I recommended it to all my masters swimming teammates.
