    Thank You doc! I am using USRPT for my own workouts, I am not training a group! I am currently training for 50 100 and 200 fly/free. Currently I am able to do only one workout per day for 2 hours 6 days a week! How do You think is it enough to swim three sets for 100m butterfly and freestyle, and three sets for 200m butterfly and freestyle during a week? On mondays,wednesdays, fridays I am swimming two sets, one for 100m fly and one for 100m free. On tuesdays, thursdays,saturdays I am swimming one set for 200m fly and one for 200m free. I am also adding skill work(underwater kicking, turns, starts) and 50m sprinting. Swimming is not just a hobby thing for me, I want to push as far as I can, so maybe You could tell if I am doing enough to keep improving in these distances.

    Thank You very much for clarifying things up! I have one more question, Dr. Brent Rushall in one of his bulletins gives an example of a USRPT training session. In the example of USRPT microcycle there is a workout which goes like this: 100s – all strokes – a few 50s but mostly 25m/y. So what I do not quite understand here is what does it mean – a few 50s? Should you swim one set over 50m/y on a 100m/y (20x50m/y) pace and then another set same stroke over 25m/y on a 100m/y pace (30x25m/y)?
