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
ok
go for it
Thanks for the links! There's so much to absorb.
My challenge now is triage -- choosing what to focus on first, second, third, etc.
+ pick specific goals, events
+ find a meet enter it
+ train often
+ swim fast in practice
+ time yourself or have some one time you on fast swims in practice
+ work on kicking faster
+ ask yourself "what do I need to do to swim faster?"
