Coach Sara loves to hear from athletes all around the globe that enjoy the workouts on this blog! Keep the comments coming:) ****************************************************************** Hi Sara! Greeting from Sweden and a big THANKS for blogging about your workouts!!!! I practice three times a week and I follow your workouts strictly :). A year ago I began swimming again after 16 years away from the pool (at that time I was in the Swedish national team). Managed to win two goldmedals at the Masters World Championship here in Gothenburg last summer. The Swedish championship is coming up in a couple of week - exciting. Thanks again for great workouts!!!!!! Anna-Karin Sweden
