I've heard so much lately about the benefits of pilates. Does anyone out there do this workout? If so, has it helped your swimming? Where can I find a book with a "basic" program in it?
I haven't taken pilates, but I found yoga helpful for core strength as well as just getting a better awareness of what my body felt like at rest/extension/flexion. If you don't want to join a gym, many community/adult education/rec departments run pilates courses (usually 8-10 week sessions) for a reasonable fee.
