A champions workout


I am currently using SwimPlan.com for all my workouts. The algorithms in their computer generated workouts peg me as a beginner (100 free repeats between 2:25 - 2:40 with 20 seconds rest). The next level is slow. Geeez. I do have a Li f way to go but I am enjoying the journey.

I used to be a breaststroker so I had the program kick out a cool workout for me today. I love this program and will never run out of workouts.
