I am unable to attend a coached workout and make up most of my workouts. I do have a question though. About what percentage of your normal workouts are at a hard or intense pace? Right now, I am swimming around 2000-2500 yards and about 800-1000 of them are at an intense pace for me. My warm up is 500 and my cool down is usually 300-400 yards. So about 800-900 are warm up and cool down. I am not sure these percentages make sure.
I think what you are doing looks pretty good. If you were focusing on events like stroke 200s, 400 IM, or distance free then you'd really need to work some aerobic sets in (at least 20 minutes of swimming without much rest), but based on your events focusing on speed work is the way to go.
