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

Check it out, Jeff Commings' autobiography! Order through that site and get an autographed copy. How many other Masters swimmers have written books about swimming? Terry Laughlin... Jim Montgomery... it's gotta be a very short list.
