-MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW

From the Author

     This is the second book I've written that focuses on games to strengthen children in their swimming. The two books I've published are "Swim Games" and "Effective Swimming Games". I grew up on a swimteam, and later coached and taught swim lessons. I often found myself at the pool answering questions from parents on what they could do to get their child to improve upon their swimming. Games and participating in the water with my swimmers and my own children drastically improved their swimming capabilities. I felt so many books focused on the technical side of the swimming, so I wanted to kick mine off with an exciting, illustrated children's story. I did detail all the games after the story and put all the technical information in a chapter at the end.
     As a way to show respect for life, it is my dream that these books will strengthen swimmers everywhere and reduce drowning incidents worldwide.
