I tried doing a search in the forums on this and couldn't find anything. I am curious to know how many yards people in Masters are swimming a practice. I swim on average 3000-4000 yards a practice, 3 times a week.
Yes, all coaches seem to throw a lot of aerobic in at the beginning to build up the base. I think every coach has their own little way of doing things, and it may not eaxctly follow Maglischo's model, but still is effective. I have also seen some swimmers not respond at all to this model and need something quite different to be good. We had a HS girl the last 4 years like that. She responded to less is better I think, and the other kids all thought she was not a hard worker. Yet she hit some National times in the 200 back, so she must have been doing something right!
