A complete guide for everyone from beginners to competitors and triathletes, written by an Olympian

This instructional guide for all skill levels covers all aspects of the sport, including history and health benefits, how to get started, how training equipment should be used, safety and legal aspects of choosing a swimming location, and acclimatization for both the beginner and the experienced swimmer.  The author then explains all technical aspects of open water swimming—sighting, drafting, turning around buoys, entrances, exits, and transitions. The book also discusses nutrition, injury prevention, and rehab.

Emma Davis is a professional athlete, Olympian and former Multi Sport World Champion. She was also the first Irish Triathlete to compete in the Olympic Games. She started swimming at the age of 2 and has barely been out of the water since. She competed nationally in swimming and running before moving on to triathlon professionally after obtaining a first-class honours degree in mathematics in 2007. Emma quickly saw success, reaching a world ranking of 11th and qualifying for the Beijing Olympic Games in only 8 months (the usual qualification period is 24 months). When not in training, Emma is employed as a sports physiotherapist (she has an MSc (distinction) in Sports Therapy), coach and trainer in Surrey and London.
