Howdy.
I'm returning to the pool after many years away.
Since I don't have a coach, I'm attempting to get back into it on my own.
Anyone care to recommend must-have books?
Of course, I'm not going to try to collect a library or anything. So the question is, if you had to do it on your own, which books would you consider essential?
Right now I'm looking at 3 quite seriously:
Mastering Swimming
Complete Conditioning for Swimming
Breakthrough Swimming
Parents

I assume you've already looked over the list of titles at www.usms.org/.../swimming.php, and are asking people which of those titles they would recommend?
No, I hadn't been there. Thanks.
But anyway, yes, I'm asking for recos.
Looks like I should add Swimming Fastest to my list.
Also, I noticed that The Swimming Drill Book was on the also-bought lists for all the other books. Anybody got thoughts on that one?
As for "Weight Training for Swimming", I got the impression that this material would probably be covered by "Complete Conditioning for Swimming". And I might have to wait a few years to crack "Swimming Past 50". ;)
