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 personally got a lot out of Janet Evan's book. It was at the perfect level for myself coming off a 27 year lay off from competitive swimming since age group.
I would like to expand on that a bit and learn more about training for certain events. I guess I will try Mags book unless there is something in between. I find the technique stuff mostly useless as I am unable to follow it.
