The Champion's Way is based on the dissertation Dr. Victorson wrote to complete his EdD. SwymFit covers the programs and benefits familiar to everyone who visits SwymFit, while also showcasing the way water fitness, training and conditioning works in a cross-training role with land-based practices. |
