Reviews

Bob Clotworthy says in his forward, 'In 1956, I had the opportunity to be coached by Charlie Batterman. I was already a National Champion, and an Olympian, but in a few weekends I found out how little I really knew about diving. Charlie was the first one to stress the importance of the scientific approach.' We agree with Bob Clotworthy. 'This book is a must for all coaches and competitors who want to reach their full potential in diving.'
*Swimming World*

Charles Batterman, one of the nation's leading experts on diving, has written a book described as 'the first on diving to progress beyond the beginner's state.'In separate chapters, the book covers all the main groups of dives. There are chapters on the 'saving' of dives (how to rectify a fault in the air) and judging. There are stroboscopic movie action shots, each frame at one-hundred thousandth of a second, of Olympic and national championships.'
