Hi everybody,
first of all I'm glad to know you.
I'm an italian master and I'd like to improve my sprint.
My strokes are:
Free (50 & 100), Fly (50 & 100), IM (100 & 200)
I've a problem every time I've a race.
I can't mantain my speed till the end of the race.
For instance, 50 mt free. 35/40 mt are ok, then I go down so quickly.
Same thing with 50 mt Fly.
My 100 mt free are: 60/70 mt ok, then ... boom :-)
I really would like to change this way to race.
Do you have some suggestions to improve my stroke?
Some good workout to do ?
Just some information to understand what kind of swimmer I am:
- I swim 3/4 times per week, 1 hour per time.
- Some personal best: 50 free (27"50) ; 50 fly (30"00) ; 100 free (1'02"50).
Thanks a lot in advance
Giampiero
P.S: I'm sorry about my english :-)

Train more sprint kick, train more sprint and your competition sprinting should improve.
I suggest reading thought this workout thread, maybe following the workouts or at least stealing ideas. Following that thread (you can subscribe the the master thread and get emailed when new workouts are posted and any comments are made) will be more help than just collecting some ideas here and going off to try to implement them. By following the workout thread, you will be fed new training ideas, be reminded of what you should be working on, see the questions others have about this training approach and get your questions you might have on sprint training answered by an expert.
