How I Got Fit by Learning to Swim

"I wanted to write this book to give hope and motivation to those who think they should be doing sports, but for one reason or another they haven't successfully begun. In a practical and ironic style, I told how, from total inactivity, I succeeded in reaching competitive levels, staying highly motivated, even after the bitterest losses. Here's the reason why, in addition to my personal story, I wanted to insert a substantial analytical-motivational section, complete with examples, anecdotes and practical exercises. I like to say that finally a book has been written by a common swimming pool participant, who, for health reasons, found himself having to learn to swim as a grown up, facing the typical sports learning difficulties faced by adults. "How I got fit by learning to swim" is a varied book, funny and, most of all, useful.
