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
Former Member
If you are a former swimmer do what you did when you were at the top of your game. There is so much on this forum you don't need to purchase a book. Some great workouts, some good videos and lots of advice.
I agree, but I do like the books, too, because they're portable. I can't always be online. I like to use a variety of sources.
Excellent forum, tho! Wonderful resource.
Oh, btw, doing what I did when I was at the top of my game doesn't work anymore. It's been too long. The sport has advanced while I have not.
