I'm a Speed Freak through and through. :D Uh, no, not that kind of Speed. I'm talking about 25 and 50 meter freestyle type of speed. There is nothing I want more than a low, low 20 second 50 SCM. Any good workouts? Just the idea of swimmng anything beyond 100m makes me ill. All of you long distance swimmers are truely nuts. You should seek medical help. I've only trained/ swimmed competatively for 2 months and I know my lungs are way out of shape. Maybe that's why I like the shorter distances. Currently my best 25m time is 11.3 sec and my best 50 SCM is 26 sec. Danke

  • Jackie, I'd be most grateful for any sprint workouts you'd like to share. Currently, I'm using 3 that capture principles I've learned so far. I started out with 4 x 2 x 50 + 2 x 100 with 40 seconds rest. I haven't done that one in a long time, I see. The main sets currently are 1) 6 x 100 on 3 minutes, 2) 3 x 2 x 50 + 2 x 100, the first one sprint, the second one recovery, and 3) 3 x 1 x 75 on 1:30 + 3 x 25 on 35 on 6:15 interval [includes 100 ez). I don't usually go much over 3,000 yards in a sprint workout. Thanks so much for your help! Nancy
