Todays' workout is not so much recovery as an easier way of covering some serious yardage and giving your body a breather (but not a break). You should concentrate on long, smooth strokes and take the main ladder set as an opportunity to swim comfortably at an increasingly faster clip. Only the 200 and 100 should be exerting; again, you are stressing yourself at the end of your workout to simulate the feeling of fatigue you will experience at the end of a race.
