Hardest Pool Event?

Kyle Deery over 2 years ago

I always find myself in the most amount of pain after a 400 IM and consider that the hardest pool event. What events do you think are the hardest?

a few years ago one of the Swim magazines did a poll of the hardest event. The winner was the 200 breast. But of the 200 fly they said “it’s like a Game of Thrones, episode everybody dies.”…

Agree. 400 IM is the hardest event. A true test of a swimmer.

I might get in trouble for bumping a super old thread, but this is a fun one. I would say 400 IM, closely followed by the 200 LCM breast and 200 LCM fly. The SCY versions are significantly easier (but still hard) because of all the turns! Thank God for walls.

I prefer LCM and I think it is in general harder( there is a lot more swimming), but SCY 200s of back, fly, or breast are killers if you work the underwaters. I don’t do long underwater dolphin kicks fly or back, but I salute those who do those who do. 200 SCY BR those last 2 or 3 pullouts are HARD.
