    "The Art of Swimming, a new direction using the Alexander Technique" (Ashgrove Publishing, 2003): Steven Shaw's first book, now in its second, improved edition, develops the principles of Alexander Technique in relation to the art rather than the sport of swimming. Themes explored include: overcoming the psychological barriers to feeling at home in the water, how to breathe when swimming, improving performance in and enhancing enjoyment of water, how poor swimming can result in strain and injury, and letting the water guide us in how to swim and live creatively.

    "Master the Art of Swimming" (Collins & Brown, 2006): Steven Shaw's second book concentrates on the strokes with easy-to-follow, step-by-step progression of all four strokes with underwater images and dry land practices to reinforce new patterns of movement.
