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
If you’re currently swimming a 26 second 50 SCM and want to get to 20. You don’t need a good workout; you need to be training with a world class club. And if you are going 26 after only 2 of months of training, get with the club quick, so we can see you in Beijing in 2008!
Considering that last year’s NCAA champ in the 50 SCM, Fred Bousquet, could only manage a 21.10 while swimming with one of the best college programs. I doubt, a bunch of Masters posters can concoct a better training regimen.
the 50 meter free is about speed and speed endurance and smart splitting
do 25's for time, 50's for time
lots of rest
even and negative split 50s
easy speed sprints
ande

Ok, im a freestyle sprint specialist im 14 and i go a 54:06. The key to this is descending interval training. Take a set of 5X100 freestyle and start with the inteval at 1:20. On each following 100 drop 5 seconds. Do this set four times then do an easy 200 pulling set on 3:00. Then repeat the desending. This is one time through. Do this 5 times then cool down on a 500 yd swim. Then your done for the day. Do that twice a week and then double the the number of sets and cut the intervals in half and do 50's. By the end of one month ull be at least at 22-23.
