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?

Sprint training with 15-20 second intervals? Really? I consider a sprint to be an all out swim...giving it everything you've got. When you get to the finish you have given your all. Maybe I am weak but after such a swim I need a minute of rest to do the same sprint again, especially if I am going to do it 6 times.
