You're not a sprinter and you're not a pure distance swimmer. Your 50's & 1500's aren't as great as your 200's, 400's, & 500's. Your 100's aren't shabby. Let the D Divas take those 800's, 1000's, 1500's & 1650's. You're caught in the middle. You've got OK speed, but you can do those longer sets that make pure sprinters ill. You're well conditioned and tend to do well with back to back events. You're in great company, Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte are middle distance swimmers who have excellent 100's but not so great 50's. Man you can train.
This is the middle distance lane. Don't get lapped.

I did distance in H S & college. I'm still good at it but, I like to do other swims now.
Me too, but I'm still doing them. I'm focusing on the 200 & 500 (400 LCM) and just "swim up" and do the 1000 (well, I did at SC Nats last Spring and will this Spring). The 500 is probably my favorite race and is best suited for me.
