I think most masters who work out with a team tend to swim about 3-4 K per work out. But what I want to know is what percentage of that is hard swimming? And by hard I mean race pace effort.
For example, last nights work out was the following.
4X200 warm up. (EZ swimming)
10X100 - odd on 1:35 (EZ) Even on 1:20 (hard)
3 rounds of the following
200 on 3:00 Build (EZ/moderate)
3X100 on 1:40 (25 hard/25 EZ...)
4X50 kick on 1:05
Warm down 200
2750 of this was EZ or moderate swimming. And only 950 was hard swimming. About 26%. For the high intensity/quality yards fans is this about right or is it a little light?

there's degrees of hard
today I went around 3,000
150 of it was very hard,
50 was strong and the rest was easy to moderate
if you're going close to race pace you don't need to do very much
though 4 X 100 kick on 1:05 would have totally whipped me
