Developing Swimmers Paperback – May 6, 2011

I learned a lot from this book! Many tips for age group planning and continuous growing. It is a good investment.

I struggled finding a book that focused on the age group level instead of college and olympic level. This book is awesome and gave me so many great ideas for training, admin, and coaching. There are a lot of things I've applied to our team, and the content is relatable for my swimmers of all ages and levels. Great read!

The book is well written and easy to read. Makes a lot of sense too. Great purchase for parents new to swimming.

This is an excellent book for swim coaches. Lots of ways to improve young swimmers. The seller of this book is exceptionally responsible. Right before sending this book he noticed some yellow high lighting. We were immediately notified and and the book was discounted. I look forward to dealing with this seller in the near future.

Among the best on swimming, it reveals the most helpful principles and technique for smooth, effortless, controlled and graceful swimming. It tells about maximizing momentum, something which many swimmers are not aware of though it is of the utmost importance. The author's clear explanation clears us of all the doubts that we might have as swimmers or coaches. Personally, after reading the book, my swimming has improved by leaps and bounds. Amazing! It's most recommended for all swimmers and coaches!

A great resource for any swimmer or coach to read. Michael brooks is an extremely talented gifted brilliant man who wants the best and gets the best out of his swimmers. He is respectfully feared and lived by his swimmers and coaches.

This book is a great resource book for swimmers as well as coaches. It is very well-written and easily understood, with many pictures included throughout.It includes sections on stroke-specific technique, drills, how to race certain events, stretching, and even the psychological aspects of swimming. Highly recommend this book for coaches and swimmers alike.

This book I felt would not only tell me the information on how to properly swim certain strokes, but also on how to properly communicate it to younger swimmers. I was wrong. My weakness as a coach is not in information but in how to send it to little kids without them looking at me with an incredibly clueless face. This book is good if you are new to being a coach, but if you have swimming experience and have a little bit of coaching then this book is not worth your time
