What is your favorite set 1200-2000?
Mine is 15x 100 - simple and sweet but a good measurement on how I am swimming.
I also like doing sets like 5x100, 2x250, and 1x 500

I got back 3.5 years ago after a 20 year break. Only recently since I have started to increase my yardage above 12,000/wk have I been able to do sets like this reliably - and I still haven't decided if my body is up for the long-term challenge.
The times I am doing, as well as the workout sets as I remember them, are very comparable to my high school situation, and only 2 - 8% worse than by best college times (though yardage is still x3 less.) Two things from that information - I was no great shakes as a younger swimmer, and there need not be a whole lot of degradation of ability by the middle forties, for any of us.
