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
Another breakthrough from Mastering Swimming.
Over the past week I used their method to teach myself butterfly!
What a great book. I highly recommend it to anyone who's starting out, moving from fitness to competition, or getting back in the pool after a long time out.
I haven't delved into Breakthrough Swimming much yet, and am looking forward to exploring that one more thoroughly.
I have Swimming Fastest on my kitchen table and am slowing making progress.
Just got Swimming Anatomy, too, and am quite impressed.
