Excellent source of information

This book is a great source of information and ideas for coaching swim. Currently I coach on an age-group YMCA swim team and I am always looking for new ways to create effective practices. This book is written in an easy to search format and it gives examples that translate easily to 10 year olds! I recommend this book for age group swimming!

A Must Have for Every Swim Coach

Coaching Swimming Successfully is a great book! It is a book that you will refer to again and agian. The advice is timeless!I recommend it to all swim coaches. If you are a new coach, get it early so that you have time to truly follow some of the suggestions!This is an invaluable tool!

One of the greatest books on Swimming around

I picked up this book in desperation. I had tried many books on swim coaching and many were out of date, simplistic, and outright useless. In Coach Hannula's book, I found a work that was worthy of it's title. Mr. Hannula has extensive knowledge of his subject and it shows in his writing. Mr. Hannula dots the book with useful and sometimes amusing aniqudotes. This book can help beginning to advanced swimmers and coaches.

Great help for a new coach!

This book has helped me immensely. I have swam all my life and now have the opportunity to coach a high school team. So, having the right words to explain the techniques to the students is very helpful and this book has been a great source for that. I recommend this one.

Excellent, a must read for swimmers, coaches and parents

A value at any price for all interested in swimming successfully. Intrinsic and extrinsic motivational techniques are super. Learn it all from the winningest high school coach in US history.
