Synopsis

This pioneering book integrates mathematics into swim training to create an intellectual journey into patterns. Exercise your body and mind with over 35 training programs derived from mathematical ideas. Dive into the history of mathematics and computer science to discover structures that will enrich your exercise routine.

You don’t need prior knowledge of mathematics or programming, just a curious mindset and the desire to swim interesting programs. This book will gently introduce you to the tools and knowledge you need to create programmatic training sessions. Learn how to write your training patterns using the Swimming Markup Language (swiML). Then, level up with the Python programming language to express even the most intricate training patterns. Creating swim training programs for every day of the week has never been easier.
