The book is somewhat outdated, refers to freestyle as the "crawl stoke". Nothing is this book will help a first time coach.

This book is a great source of information and ideas for coaching swim. Currently I coach on an age-group YMCA swim team and I am always looking for new ways to create effective practices. This book is written in an easy to search format and it gives examples that translate easily to 10 year olds! I recommend this book for age group swimming!

This book had some nice ideas in it, but as a first time coach for young swimmers, this book was not terribly helpful to me, since the whole book is geared towards coaching adult swimmers. It covers just about everything else to do with coaching, but not in terrific detail. All in all, it's ok, it has good ideas in, and is probably good for a first book for an adult coach, but you will need more.
