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

    It's not easy to say who might find a particular set challenging based solely on race times. Some people are workout swimmers, and don't get much faster at the meets. And others are called sprinters. my speed is MUCH better than my endurance Same here. As a kid, I liked to swim at one speed only...sprint. And that said, I was always content to be towards the end of the lane when we did long repetitive sets. But some kind of transformation took place at the meets. My times were disproportionately fast compared to the others who were really working the hard intervals.
