Tracey's book includes what all swimmers need to know to become better--no matter what their level. Perhaps someone reading it will become a future Olympian." -- Jenny Thompson, holder of 12 Olympic medals and the most decorated woman swimmer in U.S. history "This is the quintessential book for those interested in improving their swimming skills at a rapid rate. It has all the basics for the beginner yet still is able to focus on the bigger picture . . . swimming faster and more efficiently with an improved stroke." -- Rowdy Gaines, three-time Olympic gold medalist and commentator for NBC Sports If you think the fastest way to better swimming is more boring, repetitive laps, you're (literally) wasting your breath!
