Synopsis

The book Steinbeck, Hemingway, and Fitzgerald wish they'd written....if they had worn Speedos. The Waterproof Swimmer: More Swimming Workouts for Swimmers and Triathletes is here! A tongue-in-cheek self-paced workout book for swimmers and triathletes contains a lifetime of swimming workouts. The book contains an amusing narrative as well as 40 pages of workouts cut into three segments. The first segment contains a warm-up, the second a main set, and the third a cool down. Swimmers can create different workouts by flipping the segments. The pages can be configured into more than 13,000 workouts. In other words, if the book is used three days a week, it would take more than 80 years before the same workout is repeated. A lifetime of workouts! The book also offers advice on drills and swim racing techniques using a lively coach/swimmer dialogue. And the book is 100% waterproof so swimmers can take the book poolside. The Waterproof Swimmer has been endorsed by current U.S. Masters Swimmer (USMS) and former member of the Polish National Swim Team Dorota Hassett, who says: "Introducing training to the swim world through coach-swimmer dialogue is a very interesting concept!" In addition, long-time USMS swimmer Dottie Buchhagen calls it "informative, snappy, and funny." (Note that beginning and intermediate swimmers / triathletes may be happier purchasing The Waterproof Coach, also by Tom Denes. The workouts are a bit easier.) (Another note: the price of the Waterproof Swimmer is a bit higher than the Waterproof Coach. That's because the price of the Waterproof Coach hasn't changed since it was first published in 1997. We've faithfully held the price steady. But, sadly, the cost of materials and production has gone up. And, we do all the work in the good ole USA!)
