when I swim at a middle distance race pace, like if im doing 5 x 100 on a quick interval my muscles get tired faster than my heart. I wont even be breathing hard but my arms are tired and causes my stroke techinque to go bad quick. Does anyone else have this problem.

with your speed why would you want to do ANY middle distance training
you are a sprinter
if you're 21.8 in the 50 and 50.0 in the 100
you're likely to be a drop dead sprinter
stick with drills, speed work, splitting, racing, and strength training
you don't need to be doing much aerobic work
if you feel the need to do aerobic work
do gentle aerobic work
stay on easy paces
you don't need to be falling apart and swimming with bad form

I'm just trying to get a little more endurance to bring my hundred time down. David Marsh says in his sprinting video say that when you step up on the block to do a 50 or 100 you should have the mentality that I could go a good 200 today.
