- Part I, Technique Drills and Sets, deals with training zones and benchmark sets so critical to effective training and goal setting. Also included is a series of drill progressions and checklists that can be applied to each stroke and the individual medley. These progressions will help pinpoint stroke deficiencies and improve stroke technique as well as sculling, starts, turns, finishes, and kick and pull training. The checklists give swimmers and coaches tips for training and competition.
- Part II, Workouts and Programs, is full of information for coaches to plan the long-term development of juniors through masters swimmers. Sample training sets are provided and can be customized to suit the level of that swimmer or squad. Part II also covers the critical tapering phase to get swimmers ready for competition and provides detailed racing strategies. Dryland conditioning suggestions help swimmers train all year round, whether in or out of the water. And no world-class coaching book would be complete without a chapter on how to completely and objectively evaluate your training program.

which is a great read front to back. every chapter is written by a different coach. most of it applies to high level coaching/swimming but always a lot of good info. (alos: buy volume two as it is just an updated, IE: more chapters of the same volume 1)
edit: forgot to say I now own most books out there on swim coaching, sort of a hobby of mine. I own about 50 different texts including councilman's original text book and ernie maglischco monster of a text. I'm a swim nerd fo sho
