I have recently strated swimming for exercise and fitness in the morning before work. I have joined my local Y, and only have 45 minutes to get in a good workout. I do 50's 100's and sometimes 200's freestyle reps. I would like to add to my routine to improve stamina and speed. All the workouts posted take over an hour, What else can be done in 45 minutes? Thanks

Ah yes I recognize this problem. I just got back from a 45 minute work out which is all the time I have had the last couple of months.
I did one 500 free warmup. First 200 easy, 100 stroke, 50 kick, 100 stroke, 50 speed Rest no idea how long I rested.
Next 100 IM then 200 IM one minute rest between each. Repeat set five times
100 IM for time Write it down and see your self improve.
2X50 warm down. One 25 free the other back
My other favorite is:
500 Warm up as above
10X100 50 kick 50 pull. On the pull make sure you get good rotation and extended reach with a long axis pull. Look for Emmett's articles. 30 Seconds rest
10X50 IM order. First 50 fly then back *** free 30 second rest etc.
Warm down if you have time.
Thrid work out
3X500 Free
10X50 25 fly and 25 free 25 *** and 25 free 30 second rest repeat 30 seconds rest
Easy 100s alternate kick and pull to fill time. Work on that form as above. Thank you Emmett this has really helped me!!!!!!
Have a great day
