Super helpful to read as I’ve recently gotten back into swimming. Very encouraging and detailed! Will definitely use the workouts and drills listed.

Read the parts I wanted, tried it out, hey I can swim. Was looking for a basic book about swimming and this was one I tried. Could always swim a little and was confident when in water but within a week could swim a kilometre with pauses. Happy
