Funny how mentally doing 5 x 100 less changed how I did the 15. When I do the 20 I usually stop and take rests and dawdle.
This was my mainset today too. 15x100. But if you looked at my times, you'd have thought I was swimming a pyramid. They went up over the first 7-8 and then slowly came back down, with the last being the same as the first. I think I got kinda "lazy" in the middle. Once I started paying more attention to my form (especially extending my reach) my times came down - 10 seconds between the middle 100 and the last.

Inspired by the dolphin video, I also gave the dolphin kick another try, face down. I think if I work on it a little more, it will start to feel a little more natural. Today was better than the last time I tried it that way, at any rate.

2200 yards total today.
