Michael Klueh (University of Texas) doing 15 x 100 on 1:00 in practice

I counted 13 strokes per lap on the last 50 of the last 100. He churned out a 51. Pretty. . i take 13 strokes as well .... no 51s for me thought :(

that's impressive I swam with a guy who made 100 x 100's LCM on 1:10 I wasn't so much that Klueh made 15 x 100 on 1:00 but that he averaged 52's I think the most famous distance set (somebody can correct me if I'm wrong...) is Jeff Kostoff doing 4x 5000 on 50 minutes. Plus I think his 4th one was 46+ minutes. He also did sets like 10x400 IM on 4:20 and 3x 1650 on the NCAA cut for that given year. He swam for Stanford in the mid 80s. So I'd say the 15x100 on 1:00 is better than all of us sitting at our work computers, but nowhere near Hackett and Kostoff from a generation ago.

Don't forget Erik Vendt's 30 x 1000 (10 on 10:45, 10 on 10:30, 10 on 10:15). forum.slowtwitch.com/.../ The thread is titled "Erik Vendt Is Tougher Than Chuck Norris" :)

I tried to see his kick off the turns, not very easy to see, maybe one, two or three dolphin kicks?

That was an swesome video. Where does that efficiency come from? I was so inspired that I tried a "similar" workout today.... but it didn't go as well. 10x100 on 1:45 held them all at 1:25. Gotta start somewhere, but getting better. How about Jim McConica. 100 x 200 yds on 2:30?

I swam against Kostoff back in California in the late 70's early 80's...he was an animal....still holds the 500 Free for High school at 4:16.39

good grief - I try so hard and still, I'm slow (by comparison)

Ande Floswim a great resource. I signed in to Flowswim 2/20/08 at 10:15am for the first time and it is growing by leaps and bounds.
