I've been counting breaths and strokes at 25 & 50 yds.
I seem to be doing 6 strokes before a breath, breathing about 4 times then flip turn, doing 3 strokes and a breath, then finishing the 50 with the contunied 6 -4 strokes and a breath.
Finshing 50yds in 35 sec. starting from the wall, I didn't feel it was 100% because I had already swam about 2X200's with a 3:00 min rest before this first interval. Plus pool was too warm today yuk!
Is is good, not good, can improve, what should my goal be?

When I do sprint training I do it immediately after a warmup so my muscles are primed and ready for some punishment. Once warmed up I typically swim about 6 50's on 1:30 intervals...all out...WOT. If I am overly fatigued I might extend the interval a bit as needed. The idea is to work on speed, not crappy form from exhaustion. Another sprint idea that I use from time to time is to complete a 50 or 100 with the last 25 being a sprint. Somthing to break up the monotony of the whole thing, that's all.
