First, you should try to descend your times on the 200s. Take enough rest after the 25s to let you do this. Second goal is to hold stroke count throughout the 200s. Third goal is to do everything you can to go N-2 on the 25s. Better streamline. Longer glide. Better head position. The 25s are a recovery, but they also pull your stroke back into alignment and prepare you for the next 200.SPEED SET: 200Swim two rounds of the following. First round is Free.
