swimsets.py

this is a very small python script which takes example-workout.yaml and prints out a swimset.

installation and run

• clone this repo
• cd swim-sets
• virtualenv -p python3 venv
• source venv/bin/activate
• edit example-workout.yaml and strokes.yaml as desired
• make

data structure

the basic idea is that a practice is just a collection of SwimSets. any set can have subsets, which are in turn SwimSets. this is infinitely recursive, but your swimmer might hate you if you go too deep... the code just adds up the time for you from all those recursive sets, so you can tweak and plan.

a SwimSet has the following properties that can be set in the example-workout.yaml file:

• distance (assumed in yards/meters)
• stroke (see Stroke below)
• msg: a message to print out for the set
• timing:
  • time: the total time for the distance specified (will take priority if set along with the following two)
  • additional: if a stroke is specified, a single increment of additional time to add to the distance
  • additional_base: if a stroke is specified, an increment of additional time to add per 100 of the distance
  • all time specified in the 0:00 format. negative additional is of the form -0:10.
• rounds: the number of times to repeat the set
• print_full_stats: defaults to False, set this to true for the levels that you want to see aggregate distance and time calculated. the code currently will print out both a version with these (then True) and a version will all False (meant for the swimmers.)
• subsets: nested sets of this form

The distance, time/additional/additional_base, and rounds can all be provide singular (for all lanes) or as an list for each lane. Currently the code assumes 4 lanes, and the main function would need to updated to change this.

a Stroke is a set of common stroke (with a name) and a base time (per 100 yards/meters) for each lane. This is simply to make it easier to specify and reuse common times, as well as think in terms of time from base.

example

example-workout.yaml:

msg: Today's Practice
print_full_stats: True
subsets:
  - msg: Main Set
    print_full_stats: True
    rounds: 5
    subsets:
      - distance: 150
        rounds: [5, 5, 5, 4]
        stroke: free
        additional_base: -0:05
      - distance: 100
        rounds: 4
        stroke: im
        additional_base: 0:10
        time: :00
      - distance: 75
        stroke: free
        msg: pull
        rounds: 3
      - distance: 25
        stroke: ez
      - distance:  [100, 100, 50, 50]
        stroke: kick
        additional: 0:15
        rounds: 2

strokes.yaml

free:
  name: 'Free'
  base_times: ['1:20', '1:30', '1:40', '2:00']
stroke:
  name: 'Stroke'
  base_times: ['1:35', '1:45', '1:55', '2:20']
choice:
  name: 'Choice'
  base_times: ['1:30', '1:40', '1:50', '2:20']
im:
  name: 'IM'
  base_times: ['1:40', '1:50', '2:10', '2:30']
kick:
  name: 'Kick'
  base_times: ['2:00', '2:10', '2:30', '2:50']
ez:
  name: 'EZ'
  base_times: ['2:30', '3:00', '3:30', '4:00']

Running make with these files (the current defaults) results in the following output. Note there are two "versions"; the first is intended as the swimmers view without any stats, and the second is intended as the coaches view, with stats where print_full_stats was set to true.

todo

i will likely never actually get to these, and highly encourage forking this repo if you want to expand on it at all

• real cli
• better handling of lane count
• tests?
• package?
• other output? LaTeX? HTML?
