Periodization Plan

Check here at USA swimming for a start (if you haven't already): www.usaswimming.org/.../DesktopDefault.aspx You can even find a sample plan for Michael Phelps! Good luck keeping up with his yardage, though:notworthy: I am quite new to swimming and have been reading about periodization training plans. I understand the general concepts and would like to give it a try over the next year. Can anyone direct me to a resource that will help be with the nuts and bolts of putting a specific plan together. Most of the trainers in my area can do it for triathletes but most don't have much specific swimming experience. I would even be willing to pay a knowledgeable coach to help me through the first year. Thanks Spudfin
