I was trying to do a distance set last night but was tired from hitting the gym earlier in the afternoon. I was going 3 seconds/100 slower than I had when recently doing the same set.
For some reason, I can't handle the same workload or recover as well at 49 as I did at 21. :cane:
My question - Does my swimming benefit from struggling through a workout like that? My intensity, effort and heart rate were comparable to when I did the set without weights first and swam much faster.

Depends on your goals.
Probably won't help your 50 yd short course. Might even hurt.
Plan on doing swim marathons? Exactly what you need.
