Amazon provides many wonderful deliveries. In 85% of the small Prime boxes, I receive paper items but there's a solid five percent devoted to the art of swimming: goggles, fins, caps, and today, a swimming metronome. The first time I swam with a metronome, I had flashbacks to seventh grade piano and a teacher who kept tempo with a pencil. Now I'm much more relaxed and swimming is more akin to waltzing through the water with the occasional fox trot to jazz things up a bit.
With swimming on the brain and a soft spot for childrens' books, this NYT review caught my eye: Suitable Swimming: ‘Queen Victoria’s Bathing Machine’ and ‘Elizabeth, Queen of the Seas’. The Queen and an elephant seal will give you a mid-week lift.
