Swimming World has in interesting Morning Swim Show video interview with Bill Boomer:

It's too bad that he didn't give an example of a well known "swimming dog", or come out and just say that training swimmers that way just doesn't work.

I suspect any sprinter who has lived through a "train everyone for the 1500 and 400IM" program will like his ideas. :agree:
Hey, you know... I remember Ron Vordough (sp?), his events were the 400 IM and 1500 free... He later specialized in the 400 free and 200 free... We trained side by side for 4+ years... There was one set I remember clearly, 16x400 on 4:30... I made it to about the 12th or 13th repetition...
