I'm not really sure how to rate this book yet. I haven't really been swimming long enough to truly appreciate a good stroke yet (well, I do in theory, but not in my own practice), although things the author mentioned (particularly rolling at the hips) make lots of sense. For me if I just did his drills, though, I'd spend 10 minutes at the pool and be done, and that's not OK with me. I also could benefit from more visuals, and seeing as the author has passed away, and this book was published way before YouTube, there is nothing visual (other than, apparently, a DVD that nobody can watch anymore without DVD players) to supplement this book.

Also, speaking of this book being kinda old, it was kinda funny reading a book talking about the best swimmer ever that was published pre-Michael Phelps. 😂 Like, who is this Popov guy? Who cares!

I know the author is really against learning bad form and then trying to fix it, but honestly, I think that's where I'm at. I'm going to do my best to learn from the technique in this book, but at the end of the day, my goal is to do triathlons, and I'd like to do them freestyle and not backstroke, so whatever gets me to my goal is going to be what I need to focus on for now.

Great book, a little outdated in tone, but great content.

Download and watch the video! It's probably more effective than the book. That said, he really breaks every aspect of the stroke down and makes swimming efficiently a lot easier. I went from a sloppy 1:45 swimmer to 1:35, being able to maintain a clean stroke for much longer. Also, I've taken about a year off swimming, and whenever I return to the pool, I am able to get back to that effortless form a lot easier than before.

It's very useful for learning drills to improve your swimming technique and to get inspired to swim for fitness to satisfy your own level, pace, and enjoyment.
