Getting to travel as much as we do we get to "taste" a lot of workouts from clubs all over the country...plus on occasion I come up with something to toss at the workouts I coach.
For those lucky enough to swim with me Saturday (I'm coaching) here's the main set:

6 x 100's @ 1:20

200IM
100 kick for time (different stroke)
200 negative split (faster than 2nd 200 of 400)
