A training guide built around the mechanics of swimming

Brett Hawke’s guide connects stroke technique with the body systems and water resistance that shape a swimmer’s movement. It breaks down each stroke for analysis and adaptation, then pairs drills, speed and endurance work with dry-land conditioning for strength, flexibility and aerobic fitness. The coverage extends beyond pool training to topics including nutrition, sleep, mental resilience, wetsuits and open-water swimming. The book’s broad program structure accommodates different abilities and goals, with swimming considered both in the water and in the supporting habits and preparation around it.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Swimmers interested in understanding and refining the mechanics of their strokes.
  • People seeking structured drills, speed and endurance work, or dry-land conditioning.
  • Swimmers exploring topics such as nutrition, recovery, wetsuits or open-water swimming.

Book overview

Learn the science needed to perfect your stroke, swim faster, and endure for longer.

Science of Swimming dives deeper than any other book to examine the muscle groups and bodily systems involved in being an effective swimmer; how they interact with the hydrodynamics of water resistance; and how you can apply this knowledge to streamline your technique and achieve your training goals.

  • Each swim stroke is anatomized so you can analyze and adapt your stroke to swim smarter.
  • Full-spectrum training programs--for all abilities and goals--combine drills, speed work, and endurance with dry-land conditioning routines targeting muscle strength, flexibility, and aerobic intensity.
  • All the latest scientific insights explained, including optimum nutrition, the importance of sleep hygiene, and techniques for mental resilience, to questions about wetsuits and open-water swimming.

Whether you're swimming simply for relaxation, competing for a club, training for a distance badge or triathlon, or planning to explore the oceans, Science of Swimming will support you both in and out of the water.
