What are your favorite swimming books?

I'm not sure what the reference point should be... for OWS, perhaps mountaineering? You'd be surprised how many times I use my experiences in mountaineering to describe many aspects of marathon swimming. - Maglischo's Swimming Fastest Just to date myself I had Swimming Faster memorized in the 80's. Unfortunately the book got dso much bigger and my memory got so much worse that it is no longer possible. - and Steven Munatones' Open Water Swimming I just finished this book and think it's a must read and offers information I have not seen anywhere else (including giving my friend Jason Lassen credit for his record setting breastroke crossing of the Catalina Channel in 2010). Of course Penny Dean Lee's book Open Water Swimming has always been my bible, and Lynne's Swimming to Antartica has been an amazing source of inspiration for me.
