We use the water paper trick described above for team workouts. I have a gallon ziplock bag with a piece of cardboard in it to keep it flat, and several workouts printed out on it for solo workouts. I just put the workout I want to do today in front. Hey, that's a really good idea. Like I know me I'll always put the easy one up front though:D I'm actually going to try that one out. That also saves the writing down part. Instead I'll just print them out. I have a folder with hundreds of workouts.

Written on paper when I come in, wet and stick to kickboard. I'm pretty good about remembering everything I've done, splits, etc in my head. I've done it since I was a kid.

You can also go to any scuba diving shop and ask for a white board (called a scuba slate). You can write on it with the attached pencil, then use a regular white pencil eraser to take it off. I used to use this at masters practices, since I couldn't see the board without my glasses. It helps to have it written down, if you want to add it to a journal or total your yardage for the day.

You can also stick your workout in a plastic Ziploc bag and keep it at the end of your lane for reference...

I put them in an excel spread sheet, sort the sets by what I want and build my workouts, print them and keep them in a ziploc bag. I used to laminate them but the lamination didn't last and got to be a pain. I know pretty obsessive - but I'm a finance guy so I do everything in a spread sheet.

if I am alone then I just bring it on paper, get it wet and paste it to the wall ( we have a 20 inch wall at the end of the pool). if we are more than 3 swimming together I use the dry erase board mounted at the pool making it easier for several lanes to see. otherwise i guess i could just make 2-3 copies of the work for the end of each lane.

I almost never do the same practice twice so I don't need to re-use my workouts I write my workouts on a 5x8 index card, then I dip it and stick it to a kickboard that I prop up on the block @ the end of the lane. When I"m done with it, I put it on the bulletin board at the pool so my swim buds can use it later on if they want to
