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?

    If you are doing 5 workouts a week do Sprints along with appropriate warmup and warmdown once or twice a week 200s or 4or500s 1 x a week and do a couple of Ande type workouts to give you a variety of swim workouts. A 5 foot 3 inch person will stroke faster than a 6 foot 3 inch swimmer like me.
