My cover was torn and taped but I was delighted to see Laura Val's picture on the front. She is inspiring. I enjoyed reading about the Swimmers of the year. I especially like reading about different training strategies, lifestyles, backgrounds, etc., showing that there is
no one formula for swimming well. The "Video Feedback" portion of the high altitude camp article was very detailed and informative for the reader. I am always interested in this type of information. I can apply the suggestions to my own swimming. I felt hungry for more in the "Invaluable Information" section. Could we have had a tidbit of information from that lecture on physiology, including lactate tolerance and clearance? The writer clearly found it important, yet the reader is left with the mystery of why.
For future articles: Non-elite swimmers and their successes and challenges, the dynamics of a team, details on what works well for a swimmer in weight training.
I always enjoy reading SWIM!
