Too Basic for the Common Coach: Though fundamentally strong, this book is extremely simplistic. Anyone who considers themselves a somewhat experienced coach should bypass this title and begin looking elsewhere for a decent drill guide/idea book.
Old fashioned: This books seems to be directed at beginning swimmers. It's too basic for more experienced swimmers. Addtionally, many of the drills seem a bit dated. I may be a little biased since I am an advocate of the the Total Immersion style of swimming.
VERY WELL WRITTEN AND EASY TO INCORPARATE IT: I TOOK THIS BOOK OUT AT MY PUBLIC LIBRARY AND REALLY WAS EASY TO UNDERSTAND THE TECHNIQUES AND USE THEM DURING MY WORKOUTS. IF YOU HAVE A WEAK STROKE, THIS BOOK WILL HELP YOU USE DRILLS TO ELEVATE THAT STROKE. A MUST READ!!
Swimming Drills for Every Stroke: While this book at first, seems helpful, it is not. I was coached by the author, who employed these drills and they were not helpful. These are just slight variations on every well known drill by almost any swimmer. I would strongly discourage anyone from buying this book. PS. Mr. Guzman is not even coaching anymore because there are no reputable swim teams that will allow him to coach.
Basic swimming book: If you have just started swimming, then this book suits you well. I find the approach a bit too basic for a regular swimming. Otherwise, this book may be too basic and too limiting with the drawn pictures of the the strokes.
