As I’m new to swimming one of the biggest things holding my swim back is workouts. Does anyone have experience with either of these books? One of the reviews on Amazon recommended The Waterproof Coach over Workouts in a Binder.
Evan-
I have both books. I prefer the Swim Workouts in a Binder because it meshes with the other Velo Press tri books delineating the workouts by the areas of endurance, muscular endurance, etc. I like Emmett Hines’ book too. It is Total Immersion-ish but has workouts to progress thru. Best use of money tho is to get your swim video-taped and review your swim with a qualified swim coach.
I like Workouts in a Binder. It is my old stand-by. Follow the workout schedule in it and you will get faster.
Never used Waterproof Coach

Thanks for the replies guys. I didn’t know Workouts in a Binder seperated by workout class, that should be useful as I just finished roughing out my training schedule with the training bible.
