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?

Give me identical twins, same swimming capacity.....U train Betty one for 4 months 5500yds a day with predominantly only threshold intensities or under; I'll train her lovely sister, Hedley at 2500 yds max with predominantly atp-pc and lactate tolerance training (periodized appropriately of course) as the core.
At the subsequent Apalacian swimin hole showdown, Hedley will rip Betty a new one from every distance from 400 on down.
