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

Medium, Medium fast lane? Our fast lane is generally in the 1:30-1:45 range for SCM depending on what type of set, where it is in the workout and what has come before it. That would be medium-fast or in my words 'are you kidding?'. I'm kinda with Ehoch here. What's the point? Either shorten the # of reps and the interval or lengthen the interval and increase the intensity. But this just seems like unnecessary pain to me.
