Emmett Hines&#39; book Fitness Swimming is great. Jane Katz has a great book too. Helpful website to watch swimmers doing drills is www.goswim.tv There are a large selection of workouts posted in the Workouts Discussion Forum that provide a glossary of terms. Good luck!!<div style="clear:both;"></div>
