Advice on swimming books or videos

Swim Speed Secrets (Taormina) - I hate the gimmicky title of this book, but I love the book!! This book swung the pendulum away from TI, and I burst through the brick wall that Laughlin built for me. The whole equation!! Simple straightshooter language, great pictures/descriptions. Hail Taormina!! Agree! I love the pictures in this book, because I am a visual person-- the reason why I like learning from videos. Skuj, have you checked out http://www.goswim.tv ? If not, you MUST! Sign up for a free subscription, and they will e-mail you a daily video. Some may not be useful to you, I have found most to be quite helpful. If you can get somebody to shoot video of your stroke, you can then compare your video to the Go Swim video subject you would like to emulate. See what they're doing that you are not. I have become a stroke technique video addict because of this site!
