Back Cover[]

"I have focused a great deal of attention on training concepts. To say the least, most of the concepts I have brought forth have been on the radical extreme in terms of what is the common practice. To be sure, these concepts have been challenged, not for the lack of experimental and theoretical evidence, but more for the lack of having produced a recognizable "elite" athlete. In order to provide some practical support for the training model, I extensively describe the details of the training program that i utilize." -- David C. Salo

Includes 48 practices, chapters on physiology as applied to swimming, and hundreds of workout design ideas.

Perfect for self-trained adult swimmers, triathletes, and coaches who want to know the latest trends as described with personality by a young, creative, scientist/ coach.
