The workouts are presented on heavyweight waterproof pages. Containing 30 pages of workouts, the book can easily be configured into over 6,700 different workouts by combining any warm up with any main set and any cool down. In other words, if the book is used three days a week, it will take over 40 years before the same workout is repeated. The book presents three levels of workouts, from beginner to intermediate. The three segments allow swimmers to mix and match their workouts by combining any of the levels together.
Swimmers can simply vary their routine by flipping the segments.
