Here's an IM set, with some options for making it a bit easier...or a bit harder...or a bit more suited to your favorite stroke or pool toy. Rest intervals should be 15 to 20 seconds on the 100s...30 to 45 seconds on the IMs. If you're using equipment, get it on and off quickly so you still make your sendoffs. No extra rest between segments.

3 X 100 Fly
1 X 400 IM
3 X 100 Back
1 X 300 IM
3 X 100 Breast
