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

There are only 4 old teammates I'm still in touch with, and none of them swim anymore. :(
If you want live examples, why don't you ask one of the USAS coaches if you can watch a practice and ask some questions about things you see that are different now? Watching a practice won't take any of their time, and they can probably answer all your questions in a few minutes. Even if there isn't a team nearby, it would be worth a one time trip.
