Swim Workout: 8 x 200, Faster as You Swim Warm-up as desired, remember to include some swimming technique or drill work, then do this set twice: Cool-down Swim Workout: 8 x 200, Faster as You Swim originally appeared on About.com Swimming on Monday, November 9th, 2009 at 19:51:53.
Young Woman & the Sea, by Glen Stout, started slowly (like an easy swim warm-up). Honestly, I was not hooked by the first few pages of the book. I was not looking forward to reading the rest of it. But as I kept reading, it drew me in to the world of a young Gertrude (Trudy) Ederle, and how she went from a non-swimmer to the greatest swimmers of her time, the first woman to swim the English Channel. I recommend this book for swimmers and for those interested in learning more about the early struggle of women and sports. The story of Gertrude Ederle's swim across the English Channel is well worth reading; it is an important chapter in the history of swimming, and Glenn Stoudt captures it in an exciting and revealing way.
