Hi, I am looking for training method to improce sprint speed. I used to swim competitively when I was young, stopped a little more than 10 years ago (i am 32). Now I am trying to improve my 50 free SCM. I just restarted swimming this year and swam my 50 in pratices at 27.5. I would love to get back to 24.9. Any tips or ideas on the trainig type? (technique should be fine and I know what to improve, its mostly the training type I am not so sure) I train 3 times a week and i'll eventually go to 4-5 when my body can handle it. Thanks!

    Thanks Andy! Looking at the set in example, I really don't think I could maintain my 100 pace 30 time with only 15 sec rest. What do you do when you slow down. Take some time until you can resume with the same speed (I assume lactate training is not really the point). Also can you do this more than twice a week since the distance are so short? Thanks again
