Long Strokes in a Short Season

by Art Aungst, Total Immersion Coach

Long Strokes in a Short Season will have you laughing out loud while making compelling arguments about swimming and coaching intelligently.

As you will read, Art Aungst does it in non-traditional, yet completely logical and practical ways. If the object of swim training is to prepare swimmers to maximize their racing potential — rather than condition them to do yet more training — you'll wonder why everyone doesn't do it Art's way.

What Art has written so far exceeded anything that TI hoped for that they hardly know how to describe it. While Art tells you exactly how he coaches with such success, that is the least of its virtues. Long Strokes In A Short Season has breadth and depth, humanity and universality. No matter how faint your interest in coaching or swimming, TI promises you'll be affected and instructed by virtually every page, just as they were 30 years ago by a book that Art cites several times —"Zen and the Art of Motorcyle Maintenance."

If you're a swimming coach you'll learn how to make practice a place that swimmers love coming to — you'll also learn how to teach essential skills like racing stroke rates. If you're an athlete you'll learn how to be a smarter and more informed swimmer —you'll also learn how to balance life outside the pool with that inside it. If you're a parent, you'll learn how sports experiences can be made to yield priceless life lessons. If you're an educator, you'll learn how to create an environment where learning becomes inevitable. Are you none of the above but simply curious about living a more examined and meaningful life? If so, you'll be both entertained and elevated by something in every chapter.

And yet this is still a book about swimming and coaching intelligently and holistically. If fact, it is the best book on swimming TI have ever had the privilege to read. TI is intensely proud to publish Long Strokes In A Short Season. OneTri is one of the premier retailers for the Long Strokes In A Short Season Book.
