Total Conditioning for Swimming?

Has anyone used any of the strength training plans from this book by David Salo? I had planned to follow this starting in January, but when it came right down to it, the plans seemed nebulous and possibly a bit out of date compared to other plans I had available (non swim specific). So I went with another option for the time being. Any thoughts, opinions?

    Jswim, thanks! I guess I keep thinking if I look long enough, I will come up with the perfect strength program that pushes me, is short with compound lifts, and doesn't leave me trashed for swimming. I've been doing "The New Rules of Lifting for Women" and LOVED it, but it is strenuous and you're really NOT supposed to be doing other serious training along with it. I always felt like I was on the verge of collapse from too much training during that. I did like the results when I rested and recovered though. ARGHH!
