Another one that has been around forever is the broken 200 set. We have done them in this manner:
3-4x 200s broken at the 50 with 10 seconds rest, all out.
If you do this set right, it will hurt.
We normally go these on either four or five minutes depending upon how kind the coach feels. You leave on the top and when you come in, subtract 30 seconds to get your time.
Simple, but not easy ;-)
Oh, be sure you warm up a lot before attempting this set.
It is way easier to leave at the bottom and take a direct reading at the end, while you are gasping for air. I have done many broken 200s just like this set, also in butterfly, and the last thing you want to do when finished is some math. After a while you get to know the intermediate readings and get pumped up for the last 50 if you are going fast.
