What are some of the must reads on the subject of swimming? I have read Lynn Cox's and Martin Strel's books. Can anyone recommend another either biographical or technical text? Thanks and happy holidays!

    I just started reading Young Woman and the Sea by Glenn Stout. This book tells the tale of Trudy Ederle, the first woman to swim the English Channel. It is written well and keeps the reader engrossed while passing on some good information. I liked this book, too. There is another new biography about Gertude Ederle, America's Girl, that isn't quite as strong.
