Swimming Scientifically Taught A Practical Manual for Young and Old By: Louis C. Dalton
Swimming Scientifically Taught by Louis C. Dalton is an invaluable manual that thoroughly guides readers on the art of swimming. As someone who has always been passionate about swimming, I found this book to be an exceptional resource for swimmers of all ages and experience levels. Dalton's writing style is clear and concise, making it easy for readers to understand the techniques and concepts he presents. The book is well-organized, allowing for a step-by-step progression through different swimming strokes and skills. From the basics like floating and breathing techniques to the more advanced aspects of diving and racing turns, Dalton covers it all. What truly sets this book apart is its emphasis on the scientific principles behind swimming. Dalton provides a scientific analysis of each stroke, explaining the physics and biomechanics involved. He delves into topics such as body position, propulsion, and water resistance, offering a deeper understanding of how to swim efficiently and effectively. The inclusion of detailed illustrations throughout the book greatly enhances the learning experience. These illustrations not only illustrate the proper techniques but also showcase common mistakes and how to correct them. The visual aspect of the book makes it a fantastic resource for those who prefer a more hands-on approach to learning. One of the aspects I appreciated about Swimming Scientifically Taught is its focus on swim safety. Dalton provides various tips and precautions to ensure swimmers are aware of potential risks and how to mitigate them. This emphasis on safety is especially important for younger readers or those who may be new to swimming. Overall, Swimming Scientifically Taught is a must-have for anyone interested in improving their swimming abilities. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced swimmer, this practical manual offers a wealth of knowledge and insightful techniques. Dalton's scientific approach sets this book apart from others, making it an essential resource for those looking to dive deeper into the art of swimming.
