I'm about to swimming before class. I'm time crunched (40 min), but here's what I'll be doing. (Triathlete stuff)

500 Warmup
6x50 45s
200 Easy
4x75 (25 race pace, 25 sprint, 25 easy)
200 Cool down
=1500m

OP, what really matters is that you try and do it most nearly every day in the beginning whether it be 500 or 1000 or 3000. That and technique.

If I am in a bind like that, I usually opt for a 5 min WU and 30:00 MS and a 5 min CD.

30 minutes of 100s on something you could swim for 40 minutes at a hard effort.

100s would be faster than that but offer 3-10 seconds rest. They start out easy, but really start to challenge you as the set progresses.
