Todd, Masters Swimming is always conducted in constant temperature pools, indoor in your case. We are outdoors, but are in Ft Lauderdale, Florida. There are 48,000 Masters swimmers in the US - it is a great program - get into it. Running and biking are obviously harder to do other than in the gym ( treadmills and spinning ) other than seasonally up there - we have a big advantage here. I would look into a gym that has spinning and high speed ( 9 mph and higher ) treadmills. The idea is to have several cardio programs that work diferent muscles and joints so you can do one or more every day without getting damage. Some weights are also a good idea for strength. Masters is coached, spinning is taught, local runs and bike shop rides have plenty of experts who will teach you the techniques. Otherwise, Colgan's sports book is a good one for supplements, food , training and such, and the usual Gyton and Hall textbook of medical physiology is the best for the real thing, and otherwise there is not much to it - just show up every day. I don't use much of anything, but I work out twice per day.
