I am looking at developing a training program that can be an add on for sprinters. Most pool workout are aerobic in nature. I am looking to do more of an anerobic training. Has anyone had any expericence with this and did it help you in your training.

You can pretty much slant any work out in the aerobic or anaerobic direction depending on the time of the work sets.
High intensity sets for 5, 10, or 15 seconds versus 2 minutes should do the trick

Yea that is what I am thinking. Running for time in the pool instead of distance. If you run a 300m in 39 then you do the same in the pool. But you can have less recovery time then you would on land.
