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.

The basic laws of hydrodynamics tell us that as you apply more force (as sprinters do) the water will give way faster, i.e. more slippage will occur. If there were a way for sprinters to swim more efficiently/with less slippage than distance swimmers the distance swimmers would adopt the same changes as efficiency is "more important" in distance swimming - because sprinters can trade some efficiency for more speed over a shorter distance.
