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!

Swim Faster Faster
there's a thread here called Ande's Swimming Blog that has all my workouts from Mar 2005 - Sep 2008. From late 2007 through 2008 when I was 44 & 45. I focused on strength and speed. It might help you to follow a season or 2 during that time. Start start around Dec 2007& you'll see each practice I did going into May 2008 SCY Nats in Austin & beyond.
During that time I swam faster than I probably ever will again. I was very focused on strength and speed and was happy with my improvements from 2007.
