"In Breakthrough Swimming, swimming coach and historian Cecil Colwin describes how competitive swimmers of the modern era - such as swimming giants Ian Thorpe and Grant Hackett - apply innovative training methods and stroke techniques to set new standards of performance. All four strokes as well as starts and turns are presented in thorough detail in Colwin's easy-to-grasp instructional style."--Jacket
