Hi,
I am very interested to know just how much success people have had with "Interval Training" and has doing them reduced times significantly for say 400 metres freestyle etc.:D

I know in my case, interval training has helped tremendously. Even for distance swims. I try to do some long distance workouts too. Then when it comes time for a competition, you can get more specific. But for general training, intervals are great.
Besides, long distance training feels good, but intervals is great. If I do a workout that has a lot of relatively fast intervals I feel "buzzed" for 5 or 6 hours after the workout. I don't get that with distance work.
