After many years of study in different parts of the country, I have come to a conclusion.

Swim coaches subsist on a diet of caffeine and sadistic pills. There's really no other explanation.

Good night and good luck.

went swimming sunday afternoon, and then again today, on the 0-1650 plan. 700 yards both days. Felt pretty easy. At some point on Monday, I felt a little soreness, but just enough to tell me that it hadn't been *too* easy.

I'll go again tomorrow, to get a third day in this week. Next week is three days at 900 yards.
