USRPT workout query

Apologies if this has been asked before, but I can't find it if it has. I'm trying to create workouts and can't find an answer to this. If you are doing your set of repeat 50's, how does your body determine the difference between swimming at 100, 200, 400? It's all just 50's some of which could be at a 30 sec target time (for 100's) or at 35 sec target time for 400's for example. For instance, am I "detraining" my 100 speed by swimming the same repeat distance at a slower 400m pace? Thanks.

    Excellent, thanks for that. As a follow on question, there doesn't seem to be much scope for variation in USRPT for those of us "blessed" with the ability to only do one stroke (freestyle) well. Do the sessions not get fairly repetitive after a while? The only options are swim to failure at 25, 50 or 75? If so, any suggestions to spice it up?
