Does it just have 280 pages of "Swim. Then Swim some more. Still reading this? then go Swim more".

Was what the last coach told me ;-) Which was pretty fair as my idea of ironman swim programme was to find wetsuit 3 weeks before race. Swim couple of times before race week. Buy new top of range wetsuit Thursday before race at race expo. Swim same 1:13-1:16 as when I'd spent 9 months diligently swimming 3 x 3.5km a week sets.

I jest as I have spent the last 180 months working down from 2:10+ per 100 to 1:35 /100 sustained pace. But I'm still left 'standing' in my lane for fast 50s, but then as the distances go up I get faster relative to the lane. I just don't go fast.

Actually, there is very little information in the book about training. It is nearly all about technique and the technology that supports the swimming techniques. In my opinion, swimming is the most technique-sensitive sport in the world and half of the equation toward fast swimming. You can train all you want to, but with poor technique, you will not swim very fast.

100% agree. I strongly believe most AG and especially masters coaching are much too focused on yardage over technique. 3-5 minutes of drills in a 3,000- 5,000 yard workout just assures getting a little better at swimming badly!

Yeah, the change was to move from swimming solo to squad swimming. Turns out my 20 mins of drills a session were reinforcing bad habbits.

Swapped to some 1:1 and squads and I'm now happily mid pack. 2x squads and 1hr pure technique a week. Of those one of the squads is kinda technique focussed but that 1hr technique session we maybe only swim 1000m including 400m warmup - the rest is pure drills and 1:4 coach ratio.

So in a long way I'm saying I fully support your statements and push to support improved swimming.
