Speaking from a swimmers point of view, the coaches of today need to understand why they are doing things. I don't know where they get these workouts from. Let's do it like the old days with 1000's and 500's that was fun! Enough of trying to get everyone interested!

What we really need are dancing girls on the deck so we can have fun while working out. These so called coaches who write codes for workouts are not making the workouts fun. They are running skill testing games. Not swimming skills but brain teasers. I can't read their stuff because they write too small, so I make my own fun trying to beat the clock in my own lane at the open swims. Johnny Weismuller was a great guy and is the reason big guys swim now. Sure we have made gains but is not from drills it is because the good coaches know how to make stroke corrections. I met Johnny even had lunch with him. I also met Jesus in Mexico he ran the campground at Boca De Iguana he could not swim a stroke until I taught him.
