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
I like to u-tube or go to flo-swimming and WATCH the concept I'm trying to work on at the moment. You have to be careful on u-tube, there are lots of great clips but there are also some bogus advice.
Swim Smooth is another resource online with plenty of tips and visuals. I'm not sure of the address; just type "swim smooth" in your SE and I think you'll find it. They have some free and useful downloads and they send weekly updates with different topics.
You don't need to spend any money in this age of technology! :)
