I have heard that some Masters coaches are more interested in general fitness than speed.What is your experience? Do you feel that your coach prepares you to swim 50s and 100s?Is sprinting a regular part of practice at least once a week and if so do you do it as a main set or as an add on at the end?Do you do lactic acid sets?How much do you work on starts and turns?

The research shows that specific trainining (race pace / lactate) is critical to improved performance. A set in and of itself can contribute to an increase in cardiovascular and general fitness but if you want to be good at a specific race, you must train for that race.
