Book Reviews of 100 Best Swimming Drills
Book Review: A helpful book
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a good book. It is divided in 4 basic parts, one for each stroke. At each part there is an introduction which emphasizes the most important things to remember about the stroke. The exercises contained in each part are categorised in the following way:
Body position drills
Kick drills
Arm stroke drills
Recovery drills
Breathing drills
Leverage drills and
Coordination drills.
Each drill group aims to emphasize a basic principle. The classification mentioned above does not mean that the drills are isolated exercises of a bodypart. On the contrary, each drill evolves in steps in such a way as to embed it progressively to the stroke.
The figures and the description of the drills are quite clear and the part I like most is the DRILL FEEDBACK CHART, which is a table at the end of each drill which mentions problems you might encounter when applying the drill and what to do to resolve them.
I have been using it for a while and I have realised that little can be gained by reading it at once. It is better to focus on a few drills (even one for some time) and refer back to the book after or before my practice.
