Been looking for some books on how to swim "The Other Strokes." As it stands now, all I can do with some degree of proficiency is freestyle. Are there any books out there that are considered 'the books' when it comes to teaching ***, fly and back?
Thanks,

John get a coach or join a masters club that has a teaching coach not a workout specialist that does not teach. Most books are left to self interpretation. Many of the details are able to be interpreted in too many ways.
I learned to swim butterfly at age 44/45 from books and dvds. I couldn't find anyone willing to teach me in the "stroke improvement" classes I was taking. I don't know if they genuinely didn't know how to do fly, or they just thought an overweight 44 year old female couldn't possibly learn it.
(John, since we aren't allowed to mention specific titles, just send a personal message if you want to know which ones were most helpful to me.)
