Does anyone have any good suggestions for workouts using an "Endless Pool"
Right now I am taking some regular yardage based workouts and using them with time, ie: a 4x50 would be a 4 x 1minute. The tricky part is doing a workout such as 4x50 @ 1:00 - how does that convert?
I would be interested to hear from other Endless Pool owners on their workout programs.

What a wonderful problem to have. The Endless pool is on my dream list, near the top but my wait for the money to get one seems to be endless !
As i see it, you are looking for a way to have a normal interval set, with goal times, rest periods etc. How do you swim say an 8 by 100m with 20 seconds rest and negative split on times. How do you know what your pace is etc.
The pacing you can do by varying the strength of the current. Can you figure out what setting on the dial equates to say your 100m race time, cruise time and recovery time. Make a chart of the dial settings for say 1 min = 100m, 1:10 +100m, 1:20 = 100m, 1:30 = 100m, 1:40 =100m etc.
Then go out and buy the ' Aquapacer ' learn how to operate it and you can do everything else. You can even design your whole workout on the computer, with goal times, rest periods, interval sets, stroke rates etc. Then you can download that onto the 'aquapacer', wear it on your goggle strap aand away it goes.
The audible bleep it produces will guide your stroke rate, show rest periods etc. Look for: www.aquapacer.com
Let me know how you do.
