The coached workouts threads seem to be restricted to actual USMS members. Fair enough, I guess, but they've always been the main (possibly only) reason I visited the site.
I got a lot of my workouts (mainly "Distance Free") courtesy of Chris Layton and Scott Hofteizer over the last 2 years or so, and tips from the other coaches. Thanks for making that possible, chaps!
As Vive notes, there is a ton of free info on this forum. It's hard to believe people are complaining.
Perhaps it's to add more value to membership, as Kurt opines. It's hard to believe the extra revenue is really the incentive ... seems pretty paltry. Maybe it's just designed to encourage non-USMS swimmers to join and participate in the myriad programs available instead of just noodling about on their own.
