Customer Reviews

The first book on water exercise that truly makes sense.

A well-written first person summary from two authors who are authorities in water exercise, one a swimming coach and triathlete, the other a Harvard sports medicine surgeon. A concise description of what is medically and scientifically sound for water exercise, yet dispersed with real-life exercises and experiences. There are many mentions of their experiences in the water with famous athletes and details of what works for them. There is a very informative guide at the end which explains their philosophy on nutrition, aerobic exercise and flexibility. It is an inspirational reading on a topic which needs more authority. I want to read the next book they write together! It is easy and informative reading, and a must for both the serious athlete and the athlete looking for a tough workout in a forgiving environment.
