Praise for The Complete Book of Swimming
โPhil Witten not only explains the โhow toโ of swimming in clear, easy-to-understand language, but he also explains the โwhyโ of swimming: why swimming can make you healthier, happier, and sexier, and can make you feel younger. Ifย The Complete Book of Swimmingย doesnโt convince you that swimming is the best thing you could possibly do for your health, thenย nothingย will.โโMark Spitz
โFinally a book has been written that will put swimming on the map for the general public. Phil Witten combines a storytellerโs gift for creating excitement with scientific knowledge and personal experience.ย The Complete Book of Swimmingย is a must read for swimmers (and coaches) at every level, and for anyone interested in lifelong fitness and health.โโSkip Kennedy, Olympic coaching staff, menโs swimming; menโs swimming coach, Stanford University (NCAA champions)
โDr. Whitten has written the perfect all-purpose guide. Itโs a useful tool for both experienced swimmers who want to improve, and for rookies who arenโt sure where to begin.ย The Complete Book of Swimmingย is an invaluable source for all aging baby boomers.โโKaren Allen,ย USA Today
โPassion arouses passion, and Dr. Whitten surely cannot fail to persuade aspiring swimmers of all ages and abilities that the sport of swimming is the way to a healthier, happier existence. This is a splendid invitation to beginners, while offering a clearer insight to those who have already donned their suits and goggles. The writing is instructive and entertaining, and the illustrations depict the very latest techniques used in the pool.โโCraig Lord,ย The Timesย (London)
