http://www-rohan.sdsu.edu/dept/coachsci/swimming/index.htm

"This journal is divided into four parts, the Swimming Science Abstracts, the Carlile Coaches' Forum, the Swimming Science Bulletin, and DRUGS: The Crisis in Swimming. The Swimming Science Abstracts is a compilation of research article abstracts involving swimming. The Carlile Coaches' Forum contains original articles designed for distribution to the coaching staff of the Forbes and Ursula Carlile Swimming Organization of Ryde, New South Wales, Australia. The Swimming Science Bulletin contains original articles which take a variety of forms and are often written as a response to specific needs and controversial issues raised by swimming coaches. DRUGS: The Crisis in Swimming intends to inform and educate readers about the major problem of using performance-enhancing drugs to gain an unfair advantage over other competitors. It is principally focused on swimming, where division, apprehension, and perceived inability to cope with this predicament are effecting athletes, coaches, and administrators in a detrimental manner. In the interests of the ideal of fair competition, this forum provides articles, information, and quotes opinions that focus on this problem."
