My workout tomorrow includes a set with these instructions:

800 yards descend

I'm sure what it means to descend. Can you please explain?

What it probably means is that you swim parts of the 800 faster each time (that is, your times descend).

Could mean go faster each 100yds or 200yds, likely.

My best guess!

TriAya is correct, descend means to go faster.  Specifically for your workout you will want to swim the LAST 400 (of the 800) faster then the first 400:

"Swim: Strength/Speed
WU: 600
MS:
4x200 on 20" rest
800 swim, descend at 400. Rest 30"
8x100@ 90% on 10" rest
CD: 200"
