I'm back in the water training for the first time since college -- 20+ years ago. It took a little while but I'm up to 3k/work-out, but predictably a lot slower than when I was a kid. I'm trying to get some sense of what intervals to set/keep during sets. Right now it's pretty much a survival thing: 50's on a minute, 100's on 1:45 and 200's on 3:30. That's as fast as I can go and still do 5-10 to a set. What kind of intervals are we "more mature" swimmers doing?

It may help to think in terms of "rest" vice "intervals." If you want anaerobic training, shorten the rest period (i.e. 10x100 R: :10; for aerobic try something like 5x250 R: 45).
