Just curious, If a person can swim a 10 x 100 meter free set on the 1:35, would you condier that to be slow, medium, fast? Where would that person be in your workout group? Medium, Medium fast lane? That's swum with no fins, no pull buoy. Wiht so many swimmers coming in with so many diverse backgrounds of training, competition, success, it will be interesting to see the interpretations. Thanks, Rob

Assuming LCM, this would be "medium fast" on our team. If it is SCM it would be closer to "medium." I don't think this is a matter of interpretation, exactly, mostly a matter of the composition of the team. Some teams have an abundance of young/fast studs, for example. Michael, I have to admit that I've never swum on a masters team (even as a visitor) that has a group that routinely does 1:10 intervals for 100m free repeats, even SCM.
