Kimberly Press, 2002 Life-saving lessons This is a wonderful resource for parents, teachers and coaches. Stewie the Duck is one of the few books available that addresses drowning, one of the most significant injury-related risks our children face. The authors teach children critical survival skills in a loving, age-appropriate, and fun way. Children really enjoy the CD, and being able to incorporate music makes the lessons fun and ...             At Swim, Two Boys: A Novel96 reviews Jamie O'Neill Scribner, 2003 Searing, affecting, heart-breaking. Despite its daunting length and (at first) unfamiliar vernacular, this book will creep steadily up on you, just like an old blanket would, as one gets swept into its compassionate core. Foremost it remains a love story, with every wrenching shred of angst one might expect - but like all great art it refuses a single category. Meditations on History, Politics, Religion, Family, Community, ...             Total Immersion: The Revolutionary Way To Swim Better, Faster, and Easier97 reviews Terry Laughlin Fireside, 2004 Better Swimmer This book will make you a better swimmer almost instantly after reading the first 100 pages.

It gives you a lesson by lesson outline. Very useful!             Workouts in a Binder: Swim Workouts for Triathletes17 reviews Gale Bernhardt, Nick Hansen VeloPress, 2002 Great for those who forget how many laps we have swam I like this book for the sheer reason that when I swim longer workouts, I tend to forget how many yards/meters I have done after I get out of the pool. By having this poolside, I can do the various workouts and then know the total distance covered. The variety of workouts is practically endless and the book is holding up fine. It sure beats just swimming lap after lap at the same pace. I tried ...             Swim with the Sharks Without Being Eaten Alive: Outsell, Outmanage, Outmotivate, and Outnegotiate Your ...44 reviews Harvey B. Mackay Collins Business, 2005 MUST READ for all my employees-associates! I first bought a copy of this book when it came out in the 80's. It's somewhat dated now (there's no references to email or the internet) but it really is my BUSINESS BIBLE! I buy used copies where ever I find them and any time I like an interviewee I give them a copy and explain the importance of reading this book before the 2nd interview. Some do, some don't...some get hired and some ...             The Great Swim2 reviews Gavin Mortimer Walker & Company, 2008 A 1920s Media Circus In 1926 Gertrude Ederle, a 19 year old New Yorker, became the first woman to swim the English Channel. She did it in record time, faster than any of the five men who had swum the Channel before her. Although that feat is little more than the answer to a trivia question today, at the time it was an accomplishment that rated a huge parade through Manhattan. She was treated as a heroine, at least ...             The Summer of Naked Swim Parties: A Novel (P.S.)18 reviews Jessica Anya Blau Harper Perennial, 2008 Lived it? Read it. Wow. What a read! If you were there in the 1970s growing up as I was, this achingly poignant and LOL funny book will bring you right back. It's like a travelogue of your own past. You'll be reminded of things you'll be sad to have forgotten, and maybe just a bit sad to be reminded of things you were glad to forget. All told, it was a real, well-written pleasure. Have recommended it to a ...             My Boys Can Swim!: The Official Guy's Guide to Pregnancy163 reviews Ian Davis Three Rivers Press, 1999 Great Daddy Book This book had my husband chuckling all the way to the doctor's office with me! Quick and funny. Great for any new daddy who doesn't want to read the encyclopedia on what's going on with new mommy!             Sink Or Swim!: New Job. New Boss. 12 Weeks to Get It Right.24 reviews Milo Sindell, Thuy Sindell Adams Media, 2006 Another 5-star review from SF, jeffnc! Pay no attention to Jeffnc, the bitter reviewer from SC! I live in SF and have no idea who the Sidells are, but this book is fascinating! Follow everything they say week by week,a nd you'll get that "This is going very well" at your 90-day review just like me!

Like many young children, Froggy is fearful of the water (and, presumably, other new experiences). However, by taking it at his own pace, and with the encouragement of his mother, he soon masters his skills at swimming (anyone who has or works with young children will empathize with ...             Championship Swim Training4 reviews Bill Sweetenham, John Atkinson Human Kinetics Publishers, 2003 Championship Swim Training As a rookie coach I have found this publication invaluable. Although aimed at the 'top end' swimmer, with a little adjustment the lesson plans can be adapted to swimmers of any level. The drills are well laid out in a logical progression that benefits development of both the coach and the swimmer. Bill Sweetenham shows an incedible understanding of the art and science of swimming and has managed ...             Swim to Me12 reviews Betsy Carter Bantam Discovery, 2008 A Book With "Can't Put Down Appeal" "She was two years old when her mother dropped her into the shallow end of a lake...Delores Walker always claimed she had a vivid memory of this incident...Her body moved with the flow of it, the most natural thing in the world. From then on, the water was where Delores felt most at home." Thus begins the story of Delores Walker, a young girl from New York who leaves home to follow a dream. ...             How to Teach Your Baby to Swim: From Birth to Age Six5 reviews Douglas Doman Square One Publishers, 2006 A must have for new parents We started using this programme with our two year old, but it would be much better put into practise with a newborn. It is much slower going at this age, though the lessons and ideas are still working. I would definitely recommend this book to anybody who is expecting or who has a new baby. The programme is simple, easy, and fun. Before your baby can walk or talk, he will be swimming. You ...             The Swim Coaching Bible5 reviews Human Kinetics Publishers, 2001 This Coach Recommends It! This is my first year as being head coach of the girl's swim team where I work and one of my co-workers bought this book for me and I loved it! Whether you're beginning your swim/diving coaching career, or you're an Olympic coach, this book comes it great handy! I learned a lot from this book, and at every meet, it's under my arm or right next to my split or heat sheets! I'd recommend it to any ...             Swim to Win: Train Like a Champion3 reviews Ed Nessel Sterling, 2008 Strongly Recommend The book is very informative on many levels and provides valuable information for swimmers, parents and coaches. The way technique, training, nutrition and race preparation are covered gives the reader a solid foundation for success. For coaches and parents the book provides information not found in one source and is a valuable reference.             A Swim Through the Sea3 reviews Kristin Joy Pratt Dawn Publications (CA), 1994 A Swim Through the Sea I am truly amazed at the talent of Kristen Joy Pratt. I think that her talent to supply children with useful information in a fun way is pure genius. Not only does this book give valuable information about the sea, it also shows the creatures in humorous settings. This book does a wonderful job describing the animals using word play. Learn about an amiable angelfish or a puffed-up ...             Teach Your Child to Swim (Usborne Parents' Guides)1 review Susan Meredith, Carol Hicks, ... Usborne Books, 2007 Great title for improving kids' swimming at any age I bought this book thinking it would help transition my 4-year old from a floatie to swimming independently this summer. To my surprise, it had everything in it from infant water-familiarization to great games to develop confidence and good stroke form. We've used the games with both 4 and 9-year old kids and are working on strokes with them using these exercises. With illustrations and ...             The Boy Who Wouldn't Swim Clarion Books, 2008 Electric, sherbet-y colors, uniquely comic characters, and a story line filled with high comedy mark this fabulous picture book by new talent Deb Lucke.

When he sees her dog-paddling right across the middle of the pool, under his sunblock he's positively green with envy. ...              search for books business, champion, championship, children, coaching, collins, competition, confidence, essentials, immersion, literature, official, outmanage, outmotivate, outnegotiate, outsell, parents, parties, pregnancy, revolutionary, sharks, step-by-step, summer, swim-two-birds, through, training, triathletes, usborne, without, workouts books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
