Writing workouts on dry-erase board, or something else?
Former Member
I'm wondering what some other coaches use to post their workouts -- you don't need to be a coach to respond to this -- tell me how your coach posts the workouts.
I've used a dry-erase board mostly in the past. But now that I'm coaching Masters, (instead of age-groupers) I would need to buy 3 or 4 dry-erase boards to use for each lane, since each lane is tailored for a specific workout. And 3 or 4 big dry-erase boards is going to be expensive.
I've also used large notecards and Sharpie permanent markers to post workouts before. Then I stick the notecard on a kickboard and no matter how wet it gets, the marker doesn't run.
I'm wondering if anyone has ever used overhead transparency sheets and a semi-permanent marker? (like the kind where you use rubbing alcohol to clean it off, not the kind that cleans off in water)
Hope to hear some good ideas from you guys!

My coach has a stack of laminated two sided sheets with workouts on them. He sticks one to a kickboard so we can see.
My old coach printed workouts as small as possible and gave each lane one by sticking it to the side of the pool at the end of the lane. After the workout we'd peel them off and throw them away.... or some people would bring their own plastic bags and keep the water out of them so they could use the workout later.
