Decrypting swim workout notes

I had a swim workout this week that was listed like this:





WU: 500. 

MS1: 4 x 50 (20") Descend; 4 x 50 (15") Descend; 4 x 50 (10") Descend. Set Total: 600. 

MS2: 3 x 100 (20") Descend; 3 x 100 (15") Descend; 3 x 100 (10") Descend. Set Total = 900. 

MS3: 400 any pace you like, counting strokes and focusing on form. 

CD: 100 easy. Total: ~2500. 

For MS1, are you supposed to rest 20" after each 50 yds, or is the 20" rest after the entire 4 x 50 yd set, and there is no rest during that 200 yds total?

    20secs rest after each 50.

    Same drill as the bike and run workouts, ie, 3 x 15'(4') means that you rest 4min after each 15min interval

    ok, thanks!

    Good to know for next time - cuz I screwed it up this time around and did the entire 200yd set in descending 50 yd chunks, with the 20" rest after the 200 yd set. Oops image
