IMers, We're Jacks & Jills of all trades
Fly back *** free
We gotta have speed but we gotta last to finish fast.
It takes strategy & conditioning.
We train equal amounts of all 4 or have a fatal flaw.
We try to make our worst stroke not so bad.
It's worked well for Ryan Michael Eric, Ariana Kirsty & Stephony

Good question. I am not a coach so take my advice with a grain or a shaker of salt.
The workout was from Swimming World and the coach was a college coach. So I would expect these intervals are set for his college swimmers. They should be close to 1:00 per 100 in fly and back, faster for free, and close to that for ***. IF that is a valid guess, then the interval times seem to be about 1:1 swim:rest ratio on the 25's - 15sec swim/ 15 sec rest = 30 sec interval. I would guess you would want 15-20 secs rest on the 25's. The article mention working on speed for fly and back. Working on speed usually means getting a little more rest in the interval.
Well, grain or shaker, it makes sense to me. Ten seconds of rest wasn't allowing me to swim at my "best effort" pace, so I will revise the intervals accordingly. Thanks!
