I’m trying to find the most current/best book on swim theory.
Swimming fastest by Ernest W. Maglischo 2003 seems pretty decent. any recommendations would be greatly appreciated

That’s pretty much assumed to be the default standard of the genre until Maglischo puts out another revision of it.

Fitness swimming by Emmett Hines (http://www.h2oustonswims.org/) is pretty good. I haven’t read any other swimming books, so can’t make any comparisons, but the drills do work for helping to learn better position and technique.

I really like the Pose Method of Triathlon Techniques. It helped my swimming quite a bit.
