This book was required for school, but I've found it to have a wealth of information included in it. An essential piece of literature for anyone looking to go into the fitness industry.

They have temperatures really well laid out for aquatics ares but how about the rest of the facility, it's there but not as precise as i'd like it (aka in a table)...typical ACSM.
