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. This book is an ample description of the front crawl stroke (could be a bit longer) together with plea for a greater focus on technique and a lesser focus on endurance training in swimming (could be shorter). The book is written in an informal style. In the technical part, the focus is on a few key aspects that the author considers essential for a good front crawl stroke. It is well explained why these key aspects are considered important. A set of progressive drills is recommended to implement these key aspects. The description of the drills is sometimes a bit unclear, especially since pictures are scarce (you shall buy the associated DVD). Also, the transition from the drills to the complete stroke is quite vague; in particular the book does not contain a detailed description of a complete stroke cycle. The "plea-for-less-exhaustive-training" part contains a few interesting observations, e.g., a comparison of swimming and tennis training. While I like the recommended drills and the unconventional/fresh approach of the author, I also think the book is at times presumptuous since it overstates the value of the drills. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

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.
