Review title: could be shorter
Product review: I noticed a huge improvement after reading this book and applying it's principles. It's effective. It's not revolutionary, but I swim faster now than I have from any other book. The author describes the techniques in depth and in ways that made sense to me.The entire book, however, could have been done in 50 pages. The author goes on for pages explaining why he's about to teach you something. I kept waiting for what it was he was preparing me to learn and didn't ever really get there. I felt like I was supposed to buy something after a while. There was so much that was just padding. For example, I didn't enjoy going through four pages of similarities between swimming and tennis. The book is a little overly dramatic also. Another example is an excerpt from the book listing reasons for drills: "Fact: Your Muscles Need a Dose of Amnesia". That's hardly a fact, it's theatrical.In short, the book is quite helpful, but not well written.
