P90X

Lucky masters! Personally, I'd really like this kind of workout, but it suits a sprinter's ADD mentality. And there's nothing wrong with minimizing swimming monotony with a little action! How long until mixing it up becomes monotonous? Most coaches aren't that creative to begin with. Hopping out of the pool and doing dry lands mid workout sounds fun if I am 16yo and it is a peak yardage time for an afternoon workout. But when I have 3 coached workouts available a week, and each workout is no more than 75 minutes, why would I want to give up water time? I am not against the idea, but I don't think it will work for most masters teams. It appears that there is just a dispute on the forum and elsewhere as to how much pure athleticism (Cross Fit, P90X, certain dryland or cross training) translates to fast(er) swimming. Yep, now that we have resolved the essential beer gut fat issue, only the pure athleticism dispute remains... and suits. :)
