.Total Immersion: The Revolutionary Way To Swim Better, Faster, and Easier City Travel Guides > Books > Water Sports by: Terry Laughlin January 08, 2004 I'm not a big swimmer, but I heard so much about this book that I had to check it out- and I'm glad I did. This book will save a lot of people who are trying to learn to swim better a lot of time. Here's why: -the book concentrates on swimming technique, correct position, and how you're suppose to feel in the water -the book gives you drills to reinforce the most efficient way to swim -the book is very scientific and the info is based on hydrodynamics The book covers a lot of ground, but the authors writing style makes is go by quickly (at least it did for me). The pictures were good and I thought the explanations of the techniques and the "why" behind them was very understandable. Not sure about the rotator ...

.The Annapolis Book of Seamanship: Third Edition, Completely Revised, Expanded and Updated City Travel Guides > Books > Water Sports by: John Rousmaniere, Mark Smith October 01, 1999 This book is a great reference for anyone interested in sailing. If you're looking for a book that covers both power boating as well as sailing, Chapman's might be a better choice. However, on the topic of sailing, I prefer Annapolis over Chapman's. >>See More Reviews & Details on The Annapolis Book of Seamanship: Third Edition, Completely Revised, Expanded and Updated |

.Chapman Piloting & Seamanship 65th Edition (Chapman Piloting, Seamanship and Small Boat Handling) City Travel Guides > Books > Water Sports by: Elbert S. Maloney September 28, 2006 My husband ordered this book for his brother who recently purchased a boat. Being a Jr. Navigator in the Power Squadron, he knows how important it is to operate a boat responsibly. He still references his original Chapmans after many years of boating. My husband wanted his brother to have a new edition, so I used my 1 click to order the book. Amazon mailed it directly to my brother in law in Alabama and it took less than a week. We love Amazon!

.Warrior Girls: Protecting Our Daughters Against the Injury Epidemic in Women's Sports City Travel Guides > Books > Water Sports by: Michael Sokolove June 03, 2008 This book is highly recommended to all the young ladies and their parents involved with soccer. It is very interesting to learn that we have all forced these new expectations on what we all believe is necessary to succeed. It would be doubly interesting to hear from the Mia Hamm's and Brandy Chastain's of this world as to what our girls should be doing realistically since it appears that when these ladies were in the spotlight, double practices where not required by coaches. >>See More Reviews & Details on Warrior Girls: Protecting Our Daughters Against the Injury Epidemic in Women's Sports |

.Slow Fat Triathlete: Live Your Athletic Dreams in the Body You Have Now City Travel Guides > Books > Water Sports by: Jayne Williams April 07, 2004 I started training for my first triathlon in April (completed it in August) and I am still 30 lbs over my goal weight. I am so glad I didn't wait until my body was 'perfect' before taking the plunge. This book is the user guide for anyone wanting to do the same thing. It takes the perspective of the healthy curved woman, not the stick thing mega jock. The author is inspiring and hilarious! I highly recommend this book to any woman doing a tri for the first time, especially if you are bigger than the typical super thin endurance athlete >>See More Reviews & Details on Slow Fat Triathlete: Live Your Athletic Dreams in the Body You Have Now |
