What are some of your swim workouts?

I've just recently switched to 1000 free 1000 breast none stop.

    I regularly swim 2700 as follows:
    * 200 breast/back easy-- warmup
    * 1550 freestyle moderate to hard
    * 500 kickboard- flutter/dolphin
    * 250 freestyle moderate/ easy to begin cooldown
    * 200 breast/back easy--final cooldown

    That's about a 72 minute workout for me

    Hmm I need to pick up my freestyle endurance, I've always been a sprinter.

    I'm trying to keep my workouts at an hour due to time constraints. Which means I probably won't be going over 2500 unless on the weekend. What's your 100y/min?

    I've never been a speed demon, and I just turned 55 so my splits aren't very impressive! In my long freestyle set I do 50 yards in about 62 - 64 seconds.

    My breast has always been garbage. So I split around 80/hundred free but 150/hundred breast.

    Any tips for breast stroke?
