I had a great question via email today. I am posting it here in case anyone else was wondering the same thing: ******************************************************************** I’m a coach in South Africa of High School and Primary School Swimmers. I have one question – I can’t really figure out which stroke(s) your workouts are based on. Are all on Freestyle? If they are, can I adapt them to accommodate the other strokes as well by doing the same type of workout just using the other strokes? Hartswater Swimming Club ******************************************************************** While most of my workouts are designed to be swam freestyle (unless otherwise noted with "IM" or "non-free"), you are MORE than welcome to adjust any of the sets to fit your needs! Just make sure to adjust the intervals accordingly for the slower strokes (breaststroke, backstroke). Happy Swimming, Coach Sara:)

Congrats to Brian! I received this email from him earlier this week: I finished the swim at IM Florida and felt totally prepared, using your daily workouts for 90% of my training (with slight modifications as I don’t swim anything but freestyle). The rest of the day went great as well and I am now a satisfied Ironman and posted a respectable 10:41! Thanks!

I LOVE getting these emails! Happy Swimming to everyone! *************************************** These are great workouts. I’ve been swimming competitively since I was a kid and have recently started training for triathlons. I know how to make a set, but sometimes it’s hard to be creative day after day and get something new that makes your workout fun! I love coming to your site here and getting new workouts to take to the pool with me. I hope you continue to post these for a long time, you are doing a great service to swimmers everywhere! Thank You, Jason

I LOVE getting these emails!!  Happy Swimming to everyone and please share the site! ************************************************** Hi Sara, I just wanted to tell you how wonderfully helpful and motivating your workouts are on your website.  I'm up in Rochester, NY, and need to train by myself given time and family responsibilities.  Over the last few weeks, I found your site and have been following your workouts to get me back in shape for a half-ironman at the beginning of September. It's great to have a workout I can follow to push myself since I don't have a coach or teammates to do it! Anyway, from a swimmer in the Northeast, my sincere appreciation for taking the time to share your expertise and obvious joy of swimming to all those who are fortunate enough to find your website. Warmest regards. D.V. Rochester, NY
