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,

I have dim memories in my AAU days of doing 20-30 100s on a daily basis but cannot recall the interval. I just remember I was young and dumb and did them without asking why. They really hurt and seemed endless.
I confess that I am an idiot when we start mixing intervals within a set i.e. drop 5 seconds every 100. Let's just say you do not want me to be leading the lane. We did that a few weeks ago and started at 2:00 and did a few and I thought it was pretty easy. Sure enough, we somehow stuck at 1:50 for the rest of them. The faster lane had the same problem. We were all laughing about it and joked about how age can affect your brain.
All I know is if I can make 10 100s LCM on the 1:25, I will feel a sense of accomplishment. (A year ago, I could barely make 4 100s LCM on the 1:50 and literally beached myself on the deck in agony) Perhaps it will mean nothing, but I would like to be able to do that when I turn 50 next April.
Just something to shoot for......
