Swimming tips from Olympic swimmer Megan Quann Jendrick

If you're looking to mix up your workouts and haven't yet incorporated swimming, you're in luck. Megan Quann Jendrick, who won the 200 meter breaststroke at the 2000 Summer Olympics, has recently published a book with her husband Nathan Jendrick called Get Wet, Get Fit: The Complete Guide to Getting a Swimmer's Body.

The book incorporates advice for swimmers of all levels, telling novices the best way to breathe and competitive swimmers how to improve their backstrokes. And the couple has plenty of experience in helping swimmers improve their technique -- they've both spent time at clinics throughout the country helping swimmers of all ages. She stresses that, by incorporating swimming into your fitness routine, you not only burn fat and calories but use every muscle in your body to give you a lean shape.



Additionally, Megan called on her swimmer friends from across the globe to add their insights, although the book is filled mainly with her own advice. She is currently in training in hopes of making the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.

Get Wet, Get Fit: The Complete Guide to Getting a Swimmer's Body is available at Amazon.com.
