Just a thought/request:
At some point in the future, it would be nice to have workouts posted by someone who specializes in LONG distance coaching with an eye on open water distances (1 mile "death sprints" to ??? miles). The workouts provided are generally excellent, but since open water distances basically start where pool distances leave off, it would be great to have something a bit more specific. This is especially true since there is a relatively small body of printed work on longer distance/open water training and coaches for LONG distances seem few and far between.
Would anyone else be interested and would this be possible?

Rob,
I am simply pointing out that USMS is missing a huge
population of potential members! Probably a group bigger
than the group USMS targets now. While I'm sure there is no
hidden agenda to discourage the beginner/less proficient
swimmer USMS doesn't dp much to encourage the beginning/less
proficient swimmer who doesn't have access to a coach or
team.
As for digression from the thread, I don't see this as a
digression. If someone can request more long distance
workouts why can't someone request newbie workouts?
Champion the effort? Don't you think thats what I am doing now?
