There's a book I really enjoyed in general about the CSAR mission, full of stories from a few different wars. Includes all the major MDS including MC-130, HH-60, MH-60, Guardian Angel, etc... it's called "None Braver".
None Braver by Michael Hirsh is another one of the few books on pararescue I've come across. I haven't had a chance to read it yet though. There are also several pararescue related videos on YouTube and Netflix such as Inside Combat Rescue if you have some down time, they're mostly just for entertainment.
I've seen specialtactics.com and this 'How Can I Prepare for PJ Indoc?' pdf from AFSOC reccommended to those interested in AF Special Operations/Special Tactics. I'm not sure how much they may help you. I remember having a hard time finding anything but the most basic information on pararescue when I was considering entering the pipeline, especially when compared to the SEALs.
As /u/TheJackOfAllShades said, being confident in the water is really important, but you seem to know that. I always hear stuff along the lines of "become a fish", "be comfortable with drowning", and anything beyond exceeding the physical standards prior to joining is just extra.
I wish you the best of luck.
None Braver is a good book!
