Excellent for beginners & advanced who need a training plan.,
Here is my case, I used to swim in a team a few years ago, and it was fun but then I had to quit due to lack of time, now since sports is a very important part of my life I came back but got bored from swimming laps and doing the same thing all the time, and when I tried to mix some training drills my muscules hurt a lot. Now that I bought this book I can’t wait for the swimming session every single day, it has so many programs that you just can’t get bored, and most important it has 3 parts in every day that you swim – warm up, main training program, and relaxation which is very important. This book is a must have for every serious or professional swimmer who swims alone and without a trainer.

Mr. Zohar is correct that The Waterproof Coach is more helpful to the beginning swimmer or triathlete than to the competitive swimmer. The workouts are mostly freestyle because most fitness swimmers are not proficient in the other strokes. The book is a bit pricey at $29.95 but that is because it is printed on completely waterproof paper. The paper costs three times as much as regular paper. In addition, the workout pages are cut into thirds so that the swimmer can mix and match workouts. This is an expensive part of the manufacturing process. Most of the fitness swimmers and triathletes who have purchased the book since 1997 have been happy with it.

I loved this book! As a new swimmer, it was very helpful, especially the section where the author describes terms used in swimming. My swimming partner, a seasoned swimmer, loved the book so much that she immediately ordered a copy. We shared the book between two lanes and were able to flip back from the basic workout (for me) to a more advanced workout for her. During our first workout I accidentally dropped the book in the water. I dried it off and it is as good as new.
