Testimonials "This is a wonderful book to help plan your swimming workouts. I used to go to the pool and just start swimming laps... I would end up going all out in the beginning and then I would get too worn out to complete a good workout. With this book, I can flip through and select a warm-up, main set & cool-down. There are beginner, intermediate & advanced levels for each part of the workout. Now I create a total swimming workout based on how I feel and the amount of time I have at the gym. I know what is ahead of me so I pace myself during the warm-up, push myself during the main set & and I always look forward to the cool-down! I also love that this book is waterproof. I bring it to the pool with me & leave it on the edge of the pool... it can get wet and it will not be ruined!" -- J. McPhail, Amazon.com, June 7, 2007 "This swimming guide is great for the swimmer trying to get back into shape. The pages are printed on waterproof paper so you can take it to the pool with you." -- Marina Kushner, Amazon.com, April 10, 2007 "This is a very useful tool when trying to get back in shape. It keeps your workouts interesting and efficient. It is truly waterproof and can take the abuse of pool deck use and storage in pool bog between workouts. I recommend it to the amateur swimmer who uses swimming to stay in shape. I borrowed a friend's and then bought my own and use it every time I swim." -- By a mom, Amazon.com, January 11, 2007 "Let's preface this review with the fact that I'm a neophyte "fitness swimmer" . . I've swam before, but only recently had begun swimming for fitness. This book is exactly what I was looking for . . an easy-to-use book with a great variety of workouts. Because it is waterproof (as the title suggests), I can take it to the pool with me to instantly refer to its contents. Sure, if you're a Master's swimmer, or have swam competetively with a coach, this book may be superfluous. But for the rest of us, it's wonderful." -- Tricone, Amazon.com, September 2005 "This is a great tool for triathletes. A great variety of workouts for the pool, bike and running. It's great for those who don't have a coach around to give workouts- just flip open the book and go. It holds up in the water- I, of course had to test the title and dunked the book in the water. It held up just fine & is ready for the next workout." -- Aimee Shuey, New Orleans, 2003 "I was skeptical that a book could provide a workout similar to that from a coach or master's swimming program, but this book does exactly that. The ability to mix and match workouts to suit your level and objectives is really a huge benefit. I will certainly continue to use this as a regular resource for my training. The only negative is the pages are a bit hard to get dry and tend to stick together when wet." --- Shibuya-ku, Tokyo Japan, 2003 "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." -- Lonny Potecho, Israel, 2001 "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." -- Amazon.com Reviewer, 2000 "It's GREAT. The humor and enthusiasm are wonderfully infectious." -- Lisa Berger, United States Masters swimmer and author of Feathering Your Nest, 1997 "A great addition to any swimbag!" -- Tom Jacobs, Triathlete, 1997 "New, unique and compellingly fresh." -- Dan Murphy, overall winner, Tysons Corner Triathlon (1996), Betterton Beach Triathlon (1995, 1996), Make-a-Wish Triathlon (1992, 1994, 1996), and Reston Triathlon (1987, 1989), 1997 "The hints on the workout pages are great." -- Robyn Jacobs, M.D., recreational swimmer and triathlete, 1997 "Neat idea!" -- CJ Lockman, Owner of Positive Performance, a sports psychology consulting company, 1997 "Its fantastic!!! Love the set-up -- such a simple, but not obvious, way to put together so many workouts." -- Masters Swim Canada News, 1997 "Your book is fantastic. I will use it at every workout..." -- Transition Times Multisports Magazine, 1997 "I think it is a great idea and it will be in my bag for my swim session tonight. (Correction - it will be beside the pool!!!!)" -- Jeff Cook, Hibiscus Coast Triathlon Club, New Zealand, 1997 "I'm really enjoying it. It's been helpful..." -- Brian Stack, coach, San Mateo Masters, 1997 "...a GREAT idea!" -- Maragret Phillips, masters swimmer, 1997 "Very cool idea!" -- Mo Chambers, United States Masters Swimming Coach-of-the-Year, 1997 "It really is waterproof!" -- Virginia Masters Newsletter, June 1997 "An ideal book for those training on their own." -- Masters Swim Canada Newsletter, Summer 1997 "Not only can this guy swim, he can write, too. We were all of differing abilities, and the book really accommodated each of us." -- Go, girl! Magazine, 1997 "Finally--a swimming book you can take to the pool. What a great idea!" -- Swim Magazine, September/October 1997 "The Waterproof Coach is not a life-size, inflatable doll with a whistle and stopwatch. It's a spiral-bound workout book with waterproof pages..." -- Fitness Swimmer, September/October 1997 "Unlike swimming with my regular coach who, when splashed, became wet and irritated, this one didn't mind at all." -- Transition Times, October 1997 "The Waterproof Coach is an ideal training partner." -- Inside Triathlon, December 1997
"A very useful training tool, even at the "elite level." It has made my solo sessions refreshingly fun, and the boredom that sometimes comes from swimming alone is gone...The Waterproof Coach is AWESOME."
"We really like it."
