I have a 1995 USA Swimming booklet call "Training Categories and Training Design Guidelines" that was developed by Skinner, Urbanchek, Maglischo, Steele, Colebank, McDowell and many other USS Coaches that have what you're looking for. It's been reviewed by scientists and approved by the USS Sports Science Committee. I'm sure it's changed a little but the booklet is something I always look at when planning a season. Email the Olympic Training camp and simply ask for the booklet. Making science work practically and effectively is the secret that makes consistent improvement in swimming an art. Good luck swimmers and coaches at your drawings. Coach T.

My daughters' coach has implemented a color coded chart based on heart rates. I'll see where she got it. Might be what you're looking for here.

Thanks gdanner. I appreciate it. All of the charts found in the wolverine presentations are relevant but not the actual chart referenced in the article I posted.

Hello all, I was reading an article on usa swimming and it referenced and energy zone chart that had information on duration of sets, repeat distance, rest interval, and # of repeats for each energy zone. Here is the article: www.usaswimming.org/ViewMiscArticle.aspx Does anyone know where I can find this chart? Thanks There is a full chart at my club team pool, unfortunately it is laminated onto a wall. I'm pretty sure it's exactly what you are looking for. I'll ask the coaches if they have an extra copy I can scan or if they know where I can get a digital copy. As you have pointed out, the links posted thus far are not what you are referencing, even though they are regarding the same topic. I'll get back to this thread next week.

The color-coded chart? www.google.com/url That's similar to what my coach uses - the white, pink, red, purple. We hate purple! This is an age group team. White is about 140-150 bpm, pink is 160-170, red is 170-180 and purple is 190-200 bpm.

Did a quick Google search and found this: www.teamunify.com/.../Energy Zones in Swimming.pdf I didn't have time to review to make sure it is exactly what you were looking for, but I hope it helps!

It has a chart that has relevant information but it is not the one referenced in the article I posted.
