Well the start of the highschool swim season was like 2 weeks ago.We have our first meet the 30th....and im very nervous. Other than that...our coach has had us do just about every practice with fins...the whole time....i had this same problem lasdt year but it was toward the end of the seasopn and everyone was getting lazy.I swim the 500.He has us working a sprint practice.Is there any possible way the using fins the whole practice and doping a sprint work out could possibly help me with the 500? i have asked him for a distance workout to do and he got one and had the whole team do it one night but that was about it. Im at a loss. any advice?

I think that doing a sprint workout is good, but not for every practice. You should be doing some distance work as well. When I used to swim in high school the coaches always used to begin with overdistance and technique work and add sprinting in after conditioning and technique was better. Just my experience though.
