The Art of Swimming

Take the Alexander Technique into the pool—and improve your performance!
Focusing on the most popular strokes—front crawl, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly—The Art of Swimming shows swimmers how to release tension from their head, neck, and back. Steven Shaw, whose method has received international acclaim, breaks his exercises down into a series of therapeutic movements that swimmers can practice either alone or with a partner, and in water or on dry land. His unique insights will become the building blocks for a better, more healthful swimming experience.
