Review
“There’s no need to leave Swim Workouts for Triathletes home as the waterproof pages will survive countless trips to the pool deck.” — USA Triathlon Life magazine
“Swim Workouts for Triathletes is full of workouts that will make it easy to prepare for any race and improve all-around swimming skills.” — 3/GO magazine

“Swim Workouts for Triathletes has given me workouts that are perfect for triathlon training in a structure that allows me to match them with my race goals… Exceptionally easy to take straight to the pool.” — TriEssential
“How many triathletes look at the swim as just a giant obstacle course before the real race begins? Gale Bernhardt and Nick Hansen offer a good solution to that problem through the release of the second edition of Swim Workouts for Triathletes. The book links training objectives with workouts in the water that will drive improved performance at your "A" race this season.” — TriJuice
Product Description
Triathletes who hope to improve their swimming too often mix and match workouts or workout segments with no particular goal. The workouts in this set provide a handy, compact, inspiring -- and waterproof -- program. The book comprises seven workout categories: Anaerobic Endurance Speed, Anaerobic Endurance Form, Force Speed, Force Form, Muscular Endurance Speed, Muscular Endurance Form, and Muscular Endurance Distance. The variety of workouts included and their ease of use keep the process engaging and allow users to more easily achieve elusive swimming goals. Workouts in a Binder can easily be used in conjunction with triathlon training manuals such as Training Plans for Multisport Athletes or The Triathlete's Training Bible, or as stand-alone workouts for swimmers.

A good tool, but with one serious flaw..,
By chives "chives" (Dallas, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Workouts in a Binder: Swim Workouts for Triathletes (Spiral-bound)
The workouts and the book overall are good, and for the self-coached athlete, much better than trying to think up a workout every day. There are two main sets for each workout, one longer than the other, but they could use more differentiation - one may be 2600 meters and the other 2300 meters. It should be more like 2600 and 1900. Or slip a third option in the middle. Of course, if you are reasonably experienced, it's not had to extrapolate whatever distance you plan to do for the day.But....the flaw...once you get it wet, it's nearly impossible to get it dry again! The pages are waterproof, but they stick together and even a little splash seems to get every page wet. Unless you stand it up and open as many pages as you can, rotating this every couple hours for several days, you just can't get it dry before it starts to mildew and stink. I evn tried putting it in the dryer (on that removable non-rotating shelf) but unless you get those pages open, it won't dry. Two solutions I've found- (1) take off the spiral binding, hole punch the pages (not easy, since the pages are plastic), but it into a binder, and just take a single page for the day's workout to the pool, or (2) keep the whole thing in a big ziploc bag, turning to the page you want first, then zipping it in for the pool. This work pretty well, and keeps you from owning "Stinky Workouts in a Binder".

Try The Waterproof Coach,
By A Customer
This review is from: Workouts in a Binder: Swim Workouts for Triathletes (Spiral-bound)
This book appears to be similar to the Waterproof Coach: The Waterproof Workout Book for Fitness Swimmers and Triathletes published several years ago. The Waterproof Coach has more versatility because it's interior workout pages can be rearranged to create thousands of combinations of workouts.
