It takes exactly 1 hour and 50 min and is 5500 LCM, it is the warmup, pre-set, main-set, everything except cooling down (we did 400 with fins ez), only equipment needed is a board (although several used snorkels):
10 x 50’s swim at :55
10 x 50’s kick at 1:05
9 x 50’s swim at :55
9 x 50’s kick at 1:05

RULES:
Any stroke board optional as long as you can make the interval!
Last 50 in a series is all out sprint!
Each lower number of 50 cycles you pick up your speed
Fly Challenge (optional, 6 of our 34 did this): The last 4-3-2-1 swims are all butterfly!
Anytime you choose fly or back you have to go for the 15m mark!
All sprint kicks goal is under :45!
The intervals we did take you away from the top then you work back towards the top…
All levels did this, highlights:
We had a 35 br sprint (boys) and a a few 39’s girls
Several 27’s from boys on free
A kicker broke 40 a few times…
