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!

I like the line of thought here.....COULD be a tool for the non-competitive swimmer (80% of our membership - had to get in..)
I belong to a running gruop....and they have a tool to track workouts and milage and miles per shoe.
I like the idea of a tool like that for USMS members.
(and be able to printout total yardage, best times, etc for the variuos sets strokes).
tool might be able to suggest workout based on limited inputs.
(I don't think we need to know the hours per suit or goggle)
