I've been mostly concentrating on events such as 400, 800 and 1500 f/s. So most of my training of late has been in improving speed endurance and stroke efficiency. I'm in an event on February 6 though where the only events I'll be doing are 50m and 100 f/s. Can anyone provide me with some suggestions of what I can do in this short period of time to improve my times in these two events? I'd like to beat 30 seconds and 1:10 respectively. My PB's(recent training and events a while back) are about 32 and 1:15. Typically my sprints have been rather messy. Thanks,

Your current times. Stuff like 200s on 2:45. Even the fastest in our squad would struggle at that. Maybe the difference is the Yards vs metres. We train long course metres.
I just have tend to note though that US Masters Swimming tends to be much faster than Australian Masters Swimming. Thanks,

Most likely its the conversion thing. Last summer was the first summer I trained LCM since I was in college (15 years) and I'm much better now from last summer. My guess is 200's on 2:45 would push me a bit. Last month I went 2:12 SCM in the 200 free, so I'd guess I'm 2:15-2:18 in a race LCM?
I've made the choice to swim OW events during LCM season since its so short here in the states for Masters, except in the Olympic years.
