My local Y has 30 minute slots...obviously, one to a lane, and it is very hard to get a spot (you have to reserve 0-48 hours from your time slot, and they all get snapped up within 0-3 seconds). I am not exaggerating. I was managing to get in a few doubles, but then they banned those. I'm averaging about two swims a week, because you have to be lucky.
The upside is I have to be lean and mean. I don't swim non-stop and the most I can manage is about 1500. The 30 minutes is actually more like 28, since there is no gap between reservations.
So, what is a good workout for 30 minutes? I mostly swim for fitness, but I typically also do 3-4 meets a year and swim only 50s.
A good lactate producer would be 6 x 50 from block on 3:00. The last one should be near max effort to hold your average. This is probably better for 100's but you get to work on the starts (if available). No more than 1x wk
Have done this LC with fins. I am finished way before 30 min and I can barely climb out of pool
