We have been talking about the effectiveness of race pace vs as far as possible per workout,or at least short rest workouts so I thought"Why not a poll?"Note for this poll check all that apply.

Fantastic thread. Tons of great comments here. Not having been "All American" ranking since 1982, I chose to miss the entire poll.
One important point that came up repeatedly: the high intensity speed swimming need not preclude lower intensity aerobic training. They can be mixed by the work-out and indeed within the work-out. For that matter stroke drills need not be "just drills"; they may also encompass aerobic training. The kick sets are of great interest to me right now: I added them into the training milieu just lately as part of my "high intensity" training: drilling to either descend to sprint pace or sprint/ recover mixtures with lots of emphasis on SDK off the walls for my backstroke kick. I find this addittion to be absolutely wonderful as my work-outs have become fun again.
I also do not think we should discount the value of stroke correction: more on that elsewhere.
