I am by no means a fast distance swimmer. I normally train SCY and I am entering the 1500 at a swim meet coming up. Today I swam around 5k and in the middle did the following:
15x100 yards coming in around 1:10. My sendoff was 1:40 (30 seconds recovery).
That felt like a strong but controlled effort. My turns suck.
Anyone want to take a stab at how fast I should shoot for when I swim this 1500?

1500 Test Sets
My personal experience was that 100m repeat times tell you almost nothing about what you can swim continuously, unless you are getting less than about 5s rest. Try some sets of 400s and you will learn a lot more about what pace you can swim continuously - something 100s just won't tell you.
