About Science of Swimming
Learn the science needed to perfect your stroke, swim faster, and endure for longer.
Science of Swimming dives deeper than any other book to examine the muscle groups and bodily systems involved in being an effective swimmer; how they interact with the hydrodynamics of water resistance; and how you can apply this knowledge to streamline your technique and achieve your training goals.
- Each swim stroke is anatomized so you can analyze and adapt your stroke to swim smarter.
- Full-spectrum training programs—for all abilities and goals—combine drills, speed work, and endurance with dry-land conditioning routines targeting muscle strength, flexibility, and aerobic intensity.
- All the latest scientific insights explained, including optimum nutrition, the importance of sleep hygiene, and techniques for mental resilience, to questions about wetsuits and open-water swimming.
Whether you’re swimming simply for relaxation, competing for a club, training for a distance badge or triathlon, or planning to explore the oceans, Science of Swimming will support you both in and out of the water.

About the author
Brett Hawke is an accomplished swim coach and former professional swimmer, renowned for his expertise in swimming and his ability to develop world-class athletes.
As a professional swimmer representing Australia, Hawke was a force to be reckoned with in the pool. Specializing in sprint freestyle, he made a name for himself in international competitions, including the Olympics, World Championships, and the Commonwealth Games.
Transitioning from an athlete to a coach, Brett Hawke became the Head Coach at Auburn University. Under his leadership, Auburn won the National Championship in 2009 and produced multiple Olympic athletes, including current world record holder Cesar Cielo in the 50 freestyle and Fred Bousquet, the first man to swim under 21 seconds in long course meters (LCM).
Outside of coaching, Brett Hawke is actively engaged in promoting the sport by sharing his insights and experiences through his podcast, «Inside with Brett Hawke.» He is dedicated to giving back to the swimming community, helping young athletes reach their full potential, and sharing the joy and thrill of the sport, which led to the creation of his brand, «Sprint Revolution.»
With a lifetime of achievements and a desire to inspire others, Brett Hawke’s enduring legacy continues to grow within the world of aquatic sports.
