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?

V02 max 4 x 25m swim 25m or yards in 15 sec rest 5 sec start a 25 on 20 sec takes 80 sec after the four rest 20 and repeat up to 7 x
V02 max 8 x 25 swim 15 sec rest 5 sec takes 160 sec to complete the set then rest 40 sec and repeat up to 4 x
This would be for a healthy young man you may have to do the 25s in 20 sec rest 5 which means instead of a repeat every 20 seconds you would repeat every 25 sec but the rest time between each set of 4 will remain at 20 sec and your rest time between each set of 8 would remain at 40 sec
I generally come in on :28 when I do my 6 x 50 on 1:30 so that would be :14 for a 25. What you are suggesting is to swim a 25, coming in on :14, rest 5 seconds, start another 25, then you lost me. Need some clarification.
