Driving to work this morning I had a thought about how to “perk” up USMS. My friend belongs to this online diet club --Ediets or something. I watched her log on to her exercise and she has a running log of what she has done for her workouts, calories, food intake, message/support boards, professional help/support online chats etc.
What do you think about applying these ideas to USMS? Have a work out section with programmed swimming workouts each week (yes I realize we have this at the message boards too). We could just personalized into a individual home page of sorts? A sports nutrition section, a time conversion section, a meet section, all centralized off a USMS personal home page and we could track our progress, goals etc. Take all the great stuff that is scattered around the message boards and web site(s) and streamline all the options .
OK Ediets, just with swimming plugged in for weight loss…
The Big question is would you pay USMS extra for something like this? --Hey, I'm an idea lady, let the assistant web master handle the technical! LOL!
They've spent lots of money and time developing a system that only part of what you are lokoing for. They do it as a commercial venture. Doing it basically for free on the usms website seems, ambitious.
