After 20+ years of coaching and writing workouts I am in need of some inspiration. I need to break out of my typical workout design and get some new ideas.... If any of you could take the time and post your favorite workout (sprint, stroke, lactate, or distance) or maybe just post your favorite set, it would help put together some new ideas for my team and myself...
Thanks!!!!!

Hey Dennis, Remember our U. of U. trip to Hong Kong? Late night rickshaw races on the Kowloon peninsula. The monsoon outside while we were swimming. I don't know how old your swimmers are, but here's a little suggestion that used to break up the monotony @ my club practices back in the day. Our coach would bring out a vertical roulette-like wheel w/15-25 choices of swim sets posted on it. He would pick one of the swimmers from the group to spin the wheel (especially when the group appeared tired or bored). The wheel's activities ranged from all out sprints for time to a 1600 IM, & everything in between. Where the wheel stopped, the group would have to do that activity. No matter where the wheel landed, the thrill of chance would make the group more enthusiastic & excited about the upcoming set or activity. The group would talk about this for days after sometimes.
