I've only been swimming (competitive) for a little over 2 years. I've discovered through my coach and through experience over the last couple of years that I'm a definite sprinter. Is there any benefit for me to train at race pace for longer distances than I plan on racing or is this just a waste of time? Should I avoid swimming longer sets and concentrate more on sprints? I've read articles that swimming long yardage may even hamper fast twitch muscle fibers. For you sprinters (and non-sprinters) - what is the best method of training for short distances?

Don't I remember a movie about "The Force"? Didn't Mr. Moose have a line in that movie . . . Ralph, I am your father.?
