Calvin, These are great workouts. Fort has some great workouts. I'm still trying to get into swim shape but some of this is doable. I just need to learn some of her terminology. Thank you for the great suggestion!!! Somewhere buried in there might be a legend/key to all her abbreviations/acronyms/etc. As I was typing this I went on a search and found it: forums.usms.org/showthread.php

No. Use my blog. It's better. But seriously, it depends upon what events you are training for. 50/100 FR? I would highly recommend you check out the archived HIT (High -Intensity Training) Workout thread in the Workout Forums. In 2012, Fortress (aka "Fort") was writing the workouts and had quite a following. She was (still is?) a top notch sprinter for her age group. I dug up the link where the workouts start: forums.usms.org/forumdisplay.php You can PM me if you have a question.

I came back last year from a 6-year break in kind of the same situation. If you want, you can check my workout blog on here, the first few months are mid-2k, low-3k yard, hour long practices. You can ignore the dryland/CrossFit stuff though :P Here's the link to the first page: forums.usms.org/blog.php Now that I look at it, I kind of escalated to 3k/hr pretty quickly.
