Explanation

Ming wants nonfiction that can help improve his swimming technique and times. A handbook of workouts used by elite swimmers is the most directly useful choice for an experienced swimmer seeking to improve performance. The history, children’s picture book, and biography may be about swimming, but they are less likely to provide applicable training guidance.
