Perhaps there would be interest in a rotating blog--a different swimmer each week posting his or her workouts. This would provide some insight into what various individuals are doing across the country (or around the world for that matter).

Recently got back into water after 2 year layoff from college. I've been swimming about 4-5 times a week for the past 3 months and i have my first meet in two weeks.Im a sprinter of all strokes and swim some longer free and fly events. But I like to swim all types of workouts. I train alone and am always looking for new ideas. This was todays workout, I typically keep Mondays basic and just like to stretch out after the having the past 1-2 days off...
