A timeless debate…”Quality vs. Quantity”.

How much is too much? We want to know how your club/team trains…more yardage? Less Yardage? Looking for info for a research project.

Coach John Douglass (Assistant Coach; UW-Milwaukee Swimming and Diving) is doing a research project looking at relationships between training yardage and swimming success.
