    Already an expert swimmer? Want to learn? You need this book!
  

*by L***N on Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2013*

Whether you are a beginning of advanced swimmer, or even a triathlete seeking to improve your open water swim skills look no further - this is the book you need.The author, Lynne Cox is nothing short of a true master of the sport. Drawing from her vast experiences that include breaking English Channel swim records as a teenager to swimming the Antarctic and nearly every body of water in between it is the most complete resource available to open water swimmers.She begins by covering equipment needs to assist the reader in making appropriate choices in swim suits, goggles, caps, wetsuits, and skin care products.  Next, she presents skills and drills that are essential to developing comfort and balance in the water and translate well into developing training programs. Her extensive research also combines the expertise of Navy SEALS, Wilderness medicine doctors, university based researchers, US Masters Swim coaches, and seasoned athletes to provide guidance in the areas of course scouting, tides, water quality, darkness, hydration/fueling needs, navigation, riptide, fog, waves, and marine hazards (like sharks!) For the advanced swimmer, there is even a chapter on the nuts and bolts of preparing for your own Channel Swim.It might be tempting to think that open water swimmers can skip all the technical details outlined in this manual but the rash of triathlon related swim deaths over the past couple of years highlights the need for all swimmers to respect the water and the challenges it presents.Most importantly, woven throughout this book is a real love for swimming that will inspire swimmers of all abilities to jump in and enjoy the water.I look forward to using this book as my go-to-guide for my future triathlon swimming endeavors.

    Excellent Source of Information
  

*by P***E on Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2021*

Not that I’m considering any swims over 5 miles, this book demonstrates the planning and detail required for a major channel crossing. We all want to be safe and efficient in our open water swims. Even in a short distance training swim, the information provided is useful and practical - tides, water pollution, dangerous marine life, and skin protection. Lynne is an excellent writer and tells good personal stories to illustrate her points.
