training for sprints

Those are a good start for building yourself up your sprinting ability. Once you have built a solid base you need to push yourself with quality swims (fast swims with enough time for recovery to continue your fast swim times) For 25, 50 and 100 yard sprints you will want to use a 1:8 work to rest ratio swim 25's on the 1:30 (1 set of 10-20 25's) swim 50's on the 3:00 to 5:00 (10-20 50's) swim 100's on the 5:00 (5-10 100's) The rest part is the most crucial aspect of your training. If you do not allow your body to recover and rebuild it's natural energy storage you will not be able to swim as fast. Also as your body trains at this higher intensity, it adapts to the training, becoming more effiecient and you are able to swim/train harder which will lead to faster times. There is no way to go faster without training fast. You should only swim these intense workouts one to two times a week. More than that and you will most likely injure yourself. Also if you can participate in a weight training program I would highly suggest that to improve your power. Be careful, if you do lift weights make sure that your yardage is not too high. I hope this helps.
