The Swimming Triangle
LETTER FROM NICK BAKER
Developing a holistic approach that conditions the entire swimmer has been my passion from day one, and "The Swimming Triangle" represents my passion brought to life. My hope is to inspire coaches to follow my lead. As a result, a greater number of swimmers will be rewarded for their efforts, and experience success on a far greater level.The amount of swimming information available today on the web, video, and print is overwhelming. "The Swimming Triangle" channels a good deal of this information into a ready-made approach.
Over the years, I've developed a small network of like-minded coaches who also believe in a holistic approach. Hopefully, you, the reader, will recognize its value and become one of us.
