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

What strokes are you interested in? What's your level (e.g. PB over 100m, PB over 1500)?
All 4 strokes.
Just now learning butterfly. Never did get the rhythm down when I swam competitively as a lad, but "Mastering Swimming" allowed me to teach myself how to do it. But I still splash around too much and can't do any distance to speak of.
I don't know what "PB" means. If you're asking about racing distance, endurance is not my strength, but I'd like to get better at it.
