I have a meet coming up in about 15 weeks and want to focus on the 50/100 free with the 50/100 fly as secondary events.
What sort of training program would you advise if I workout 5 days a week and have 2-3 hours a day to train? Should I do periodization training (6 weeks aerobic/7 weeks speed/2 week taper) or a weekly schedule where I swim hard 2-3 days a week and focus on aerobic/technique training the remainder?

I wouldn't mess around with any sort of aerobic base building phase. I'd get right to working on speed/power. Lots of 25's at 100 race pace on short (~15 seconds) rest. Lots of 25's at 50 race pace on LONG rest (2 min). The only "aerobic" work I'd do is once, maybe twice a week some 50's at 200 race pace on ~20 seconds rest.
