    Having just started my swimming journey this book is a wonderful help. I'm not so great at swimming yet and love being able to see which muscles each exercise works and how that applies to swimming. The only drawback for me would be it is kind of sparse on directions how to perform the exercises, how many reps and such. I have a great deal of experience exercising with a trainer, so it works fine for me. I had my book spiral bound at local FedEx office store for just $10.
