Swimming Past 50 (Ageless Athlete Series)

Rating:
Summary: written by a swimmer for swimmers
Review: Mel understands every aspect of serious swimming and is able to communicate his life's experience with the sport in an understandable and enjoyable way. As a fellow US Masters swimmer, I especially apprecitate his knowledge of what it takes to get faster on a continuing basis through an understanding of stroke mechanics and training.

Summary: Essential Reading for Adult Swimmers
Review: Swimming Past 50 is essential reading for all adult swimmers and Masters Coaches. The book is very well organized, and the writing is informative and direct. I enjoy the illustrations and photographs -- and I particularly enjoy the spotlights of individual Masters Swimmers. These spotlights add greater depth to the discussion about fitness and performance for the more mature athlete.

Summary: Terrific book on physiology, technique, and training.
Review: This is a superb book for any adult swimmer (not just those over 50), with clear discussion of physiology and training principles, as well as enjoyable biographical sketches of some masters swimmers. Highly recommended!!
