I am hoping to reach or exceed these times by the end of 2015. Has anybody got any advice? Maybe a few good sets/sessions?
Thanks,

I know it sounds counterintuitive to train for 200's by swimming 50's, the 750 by swimming 75's, and the 1500 by swimming 100's. The truth is, however, that it gives you lots of repetition at the actual pace you're going to swim in those races.
Not too counter-intuitive in my experience. Whenever I have had PBs at 50/100m I have always had PBs or near PBs at 400/800/1500m too. As you say fast pacing is fast pacing. It leads to fast racing!
