REVIEWS AND PRAISE

“These concepts changed my life. As a fit athlete but a late-in-life swim competitor, I hit a wall with triathlons. This made me rethink my relationship with water—it changed everything! It felt like triathlon swim therapy: something I dreaded but then discovered was the best thing I ever did!” – Triathlete E. Scott Osborne

“The system of overcoming fear that Melon and Ali are teaching is second to none. Their message is spot on.” –Maryann Carrero, Triathlete and a graduate of Melon’s program

“This book is a fantastic resource for those suffering anxiety or panic attacks in the triathlon swim. Debunking the traditional ‘tough it out’ approach, Conquer Your Fear of the Triathlon Swim offers a strategic pathway to break free of a debilitating condition. Without doubt, it will improve the performance and quality of life of many.” –Triathlon Pro Coach Matt Koorey

“VERY interesting. Coming from a sink or swim, ‘tough it out’ background, this was not at all what I was expecting. However, what a wonderful way to approach fear. I’ve always had a fear of jumping from extreme heights (typically into water). I always thought if I could start from a few feet, then gradually work up higher and higher, it would be easy and enjoyable. This book exemplifies that step-by-step approach. I LIKE IT!” –USA Triathlon Certified Coach Rick Greif

“This book is chock full of excellent information: even if you’re an experienced open-water swimmer or long-time triathlete, there’s always something new to learn. As a fellow swim and triathlon coach, I found the book to be extremely helpful: I plan to use several of their tips with my own athletes. It’s an excellent manual, and easy to read.” –Swim/Tri and Leadership Coach Anne Duffy

“Research shows that fear and lack of knowledge about open-water swimming can be two of the biggest barriers to entry in triathlon—but they don’t have to be. Conquer Your Fear of the Triathlon Swim is a much anticipated resource for aspiring triathletes who are still in the process of finding comfort in open water. This book helps athletes see a path forward so they can chase their triathlon goals, no matter how big.” –USA Triathlon CEO Rocky Harris
