The aquatic center I use is building a new aerobic exercise facility that will be opening this Spring. I'm told they will have all the latest machines. I've searched previous threads for info, but can't find any recommended books or web sites to guide me toward routines beneficial to my swimming. So...any ideas out there?
They will have some training to introduce people to this equipment, but I'm not confident they will have the expertise to create a routine for my swimming. Thanks for any help.

Steve,
Not sure but it sounds like what they are going to do is similiar to what we have at our facilty, though we call it a cardio theater - 10 treadmills a mix of elliptical trainers, staionary bikes (including recumbents), rowing machines and step/stairmasters, these are all lined up facing a series of TV monitors that are tuned in to various cable channels, by using headphones you can select which channels audio you want. Included in this room is also free weights and machines, though we are using the Paramount line of equipment, Freemotion might just be the brand like Paramount or Nautilus. If you have a chance to influence or give input on what type of equipment/exercise machines they will purchase and put in and would like some help, give a holler our athletic trainers and persoanl trainers here are very knowledgable in the cross training department.
