Innovative Stretchcord Training for Swimmers was written for athletes who want to become more powerful and have greater endurance in the water. Dr. Arata teaches how to design dryland stretchcord workouts for age group, masters and triathlon swimmers. Workouts can be done in as little as 10-minutes a day with lasting results. Stretchcords are ideal for dryland training because they offer resistance that most closely mimics swimming strokes, and the resistance increases throughout each pull. The facts that they are inexpensive, they travel light and can be used nearly anywhere are added benefits in a sport that thrives on daily training. The bottom line is-if you want to be a faster swimmer, this book is for you!
