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?

Very little hard pace for me ever. In my Sprint days gone by about half of my 800m a day was a warm up warm down the rest was all out 25s, 50, 75s or 100s.
As a distance swimmer 20 percent was all out swimming, 80 percnt race pace about 22 or 23 min mile pace.
