I notice that many of the posted workouts use seconds resting instead of intervals "start to start". Is this phenomenon unique to Master's swimming? Is there a reason for this?
I am used to seeing "8x50 on :50", for example. The amount of rest depends on how fast you can finish.
Just curious to see what the thought is behind simply using the rest period.

Well, Matt is right with age the old fashion interval doesn't count as well. As an 18 year old I image that a lot of times I could do 10x100's freestyle at 1:20 and swim many of them between 1:10 and 1:15. Not so today. My free is about 4 to 5 seconds slower in the 50 than then.
