USAT article on Swim Training

Given the number of triathletes who train by just swimming their race distance at the same pace day after day after week after week, it is a novel approach. I think each stroke adds a little something to the others, so I agree with it completely. There is a triathlon swim class at my YWCA that is run by a local sports lab/training center (they rent the lanes). They do all of the things recommended in this article, and charge a lot of money to do it, apparently. The class is packed. It looks more like a masters swim club session than the scheduled masters swim club session run by the YW.
