Book ID/图书代码： 13793015B84854
English Summary/英文概要： In Swim Speed Secrets, 4-time Olympian, gold medalist, and triathlon world champion Sheila Taormina reveals the swim technique used by the world’s fastest swimmers.
Over the course of 4 Olympic Games and throughout her career as a world champion triathlete, Taormina refined her exceptional technique as a student of the sport, studying the world’s best swimmers using underwater photographs and video analysis. From Johnny Weissmuller to Michael Phelps, the world’s fastest swimmers share two common elements: high stroke rate and a high-elbow underwater pull.
Many swimmers and triathletes neglect the pull, distracted by stroke count or perfecting less critical details like body position, streamlining, and roll. Swim Speed Secrets focuses on producing power―the most crucial element of swimming―to help triathletes and swimmers overhaul their swim stroke and find the speed that’s been eluding them.
With a commonsense approach that comes from decades of practice and years of hands-on coaching experience, Taormina shows swimmers how to transition to faster swimming. Swim Speed Secretsincludes:
The best drills to cultivate a more sensitive feel for the water
Dryland and strength building exercises to develop arm position and upper body musculature
Crisp photos of Olympic swimmers and variations in their high-elbow underwater pull
Clear descriptions of the key moments of the underwater pull
Tips that helped her perform at a world-class level for two decades
Sheila Taormina’s Swim Speed Secrets, brings the focus back where it belong―to a powerful underwater stroke. With this approach, triathletes and swimmers can stop swimming for survival and break through to new levels of speed and confidence in the water.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 本书中，四个奥运会金牌得主、铁人三项世界冠军陶米娜将为读者揭开世界上游得最快的人所采用的游泳技术。
陶米娜通过水下摄影、视频分析等方法研究全球最佳游泳选手，不断精进自己非凡的游泳技巧。从韦斯默勒到菲尔普斯，世界上游得最快的人都有两个共同点：高划水频率和水下高肘划水。
许多游泳选手和铁人三项运动员都会忽视划水，而被划水数或其诸如身体位置、流线型等次要细节分散了注意。本书聚焦于游泳最关键的要素——产生动力——的方法，帮助运动员彻底改进划水并提高速度。
陶米娜从基本常识和自己多年来积累的一手教练经验出发，指导读者如何加快游泳速度。本书包括：培养水下感觉的最佳训练方法；锻炼手臂位置及上肢肌肉的旱地及力量训练；奥运会游泳选手和高肘划水的清晰照片；水下划水关键动作详解；帮助她20多年保持世界级水准的方法等。（LYR）
