Dear Coach: Do you know of a website that lists pools in North America? I'm on the road a lot these days and am constantly stumped trying to find a pool that's longer that the 12m hotel pools and is hopefully not shaped like a kidney. On The Move
Dear O. T. Move: The best site I know of is the "Swimmers Guide On-line" -- it has info on pools around the world, but as they say, call ahead to check as information quickly gets out of date: http://www.swimmersguide.com/.= You can add information on pools you know about and help others, too!
Dear Coach: When doing workouts that include moderate and hard sets, is the intention that we are to really push the hard sets to allow for some rest while maintaining the pace times? I'm finding that some swimmers go hard on the moderates, then moderate on the hard sets, resulting in practically no rest and training in the wrong zones (essentially a long moderate set). Frustrated At Some Times, Enjoy Resting!
