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

  • Is there some kind of methodology (or could someone suggest won) to rate the difficulty of a set based on your race time? My 50y free time is 25 so what would make up a fast, medium, and slow interval. Actually, using a 50 sprint as a baseline is not the best choice. A better baseline would be to do a 30 minute swim. Then divide 30 by the distance in 100s to get your baseline. I go 23 in 50y but my speed is MUCH better than my endurance. I struggle with 6x100y Free on 1:15.
