What happens if you do doubles and try and swim sprints?
I think this focus on yardage and "singles vs doubles" is a little misleading, whether you are a sprinter or not.
It doesn't matter how many yards I'm doing, if I don't do speed work or lactate sets with some frequency and intensity, I'll be slower in 100s and 200s and even the 400/500.
Conversely, doing doubles won't kill your speed at all as long as you continue to work on it. Don't do everything at moderate speed...which may happen if you don't allow yourself adequate recovery time.
So just be sure to build adequate recovery time into your training cycle because that's when you actually get faster. As you get older you tend to need more recovery time.
