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

If you like to read about training, read "Periodization of Training for Sport" by Tudor Bompa. Check him out on Wikipedia. I used his models for another sport-the Firefighter Combat Challenge, and the program worked well. I have just returned to masters after a 25 year layoff and will probably try to build myself a new periodization program for swimming.
