In the Water They Can’t See You Cry<\/em> is a memoir documenting Amanda Beard’s<\/strong> struggle with clinical depression. After showing her rise to Olympic and modeling fame, the memoir goes on to show Beard’s toxic relationships, substance abuse, bulimia and self harm.

Written after his performance at the 2008 Olympics,\u00a0No Limits<\/em>\u00a0shows\u00a0the hard work Michael Phelps<\/strong> put in, both in and out of the pool. Despite setbacks in his youth, Phelps went on to become one of the most respected and successful athletes of all time. In this book, Phelps discusses the challenges he faced on his journey to Olympic success and how he overcame them.

Unlike the above mentioned books,\u00a0Swimming Fastest<\/em> is a monster-sized textbook focusing on technique and training.

Another reference book,\u00a0Mind Training for Swimmers<\/em> focuses more on the mental side of swimming than the physical. This book provides insight on swimming and thinking with a positive attitude. Full of points to lead you to a more positive mindset,\u00a0Mind Training for Swimmers\u00a0<\/em>is a great tool to help one fully enjoy the sport, even when under stress. Great for the athletes who tend to psyche themselves out before racing,\u00a0Mind Training for Swimmers\u00a0<\/em>offers helpful advice and tools to reach an unshakable mindset both in and out of the pool.<\/p>\n
