Sprint Workouts

I recently read a fascinating book on Sprinting (author- Samuel James Freas). The book emphasizes the importance of swimming all out during practice in addition to dryland exercises. Although the sequence of daily workouts consist of recovery, fast, and superfast workouts, the book does seem to focus on the college age swimmer. QUESTION...How many times during the week should a middle age Master swim fast/ superfast workouts? I have heard that too much anaerobic training may be detrimental. I am in search of the right mix between anaerobic and aerobic that will allow a Sprinter to significantly improve their times. Chuck
