I see many people saying that one should swim at or close to race pace in training. My question is how much rest should be allowed for the interval such as doing 100's on the 1:25 and coming in on 1:15 = 10 sec rest. I don't know about everyone else but I have a hard time maintaining race pace without significant rest or for prolonged periods. Thanks in advance.

Most important do you really know what your race pace is??? If you cannot swim a 1:15 with a 10 second rest you are not swimming your race pace, you are swimming faster then your race pace.
