Review title: overpriced and boring!
Product review: I love Terry Laughlin's method (although he does spend so much time trying to sell it to you that you start to become suspicious...), and I keep all the beautiful articles (with fantastic color photographs) he wrote for Fitness Swimmer, but this book in a joke. Make no mistake, it would be a fine pamphlet to have if it sold for 5 bucks, but this booklet is 25 dollars! I was happy to pay this much for what I thought would be the ultimate book on swimming, an aquatic version of "The Triathlete's Training Bible", and what I got was something that looked like bad photocopies of the Fitness Swimmer articles. This was a very bad marketing move for Laughlin, as far as I am concerned: I really felt he had no respect for the reader, and was just after the money. The content of the book will be no news if you ever read Fitness Swimmer. Save some cash, get some back issues of the magazine, and head to the pool.
