The Master's Swim Team that I coach is primarily composed of what would be classified as the intermediate swimmer. By this, I mean people who aren't breaking a minute on their 100 yard freestyles, but are more along the lines of a 1:15 (give or take) and still push through the practice.
So, I design their swimming workouts on an intermediate level where they get the rest they need, maintain and improve their current times, and still get a great workout in for only swimming around an hour every day they are in. That being said, I know that they aren't the only ones out there looking for quick workouts at an intermediate Master's level which leads me to the purpose of this forum topic (and what will be an on-going posting of workouts every Monday, Wednesday and Friday). I will be sharing all of the swim workouts that we do in hopes that other people will find benefit in them as well.
Enjoy the workouts and please feel free to give as much feedback as possible!

Today was a huge anaerobic day for the swimmers. I think they all wanted to drown me after this:
Warm-Up
1 x 500 (100 Swim, 100 Kick, 100 Choice, 100 Pull, 100 Swim)
Mid-Distance
3 x 300 on 4:30 Freestyle @ 85%
*1 = Every 3
*2 = Every 5
*3 = 4 SDK's
Main Set
2 x 125 on 2:15 Freestyle @ 90%
10 x 50 on 1:00 Freestyle @ Race Pace
10 x 50 on :55 Freestyle @ Race Pace
4 x 100 on 2:00 Freestyle @ 97%
6 x 75 on 1:30 Freestyle @ Race Pace
10 x 25 on :40 Freestyle All Out Effort
Recovery
1 x 200 Choice
Total Yardage: 4100
Total Time: ~1 hour 20 minutes
Wednesday's focus will be endurance so we'll see how they are feeling!
