progressing pace times

[agswimcoach]

I am sure this has been discussed at length, so sorry if it is redundant. I am wondering what everyone’s thoughts are on when to progress a swimmer’s pace times. Do you have a set number of reps that they complete at a certain interval before you progress them to a faster pace? Just wondering what other are doing.

When I get two consecutive performances of 4 1/2 times race distance without a failure, or beyond 6 times race distance before failing out, I’ve been moving to a faster pace (or shortening the interval).
