Descending 5 x 50's gives you the goal time... next you'll have to hold that a bit longer than one.
Many descend sets end up with one fast swim at the end. This set requires you maintain that fastest time a bit longer as you repeat the set. For coaches, it may be best if you don't tell the ENTIRE set up front... you may not get the speed you're looking for.
