Hey guys, do you have any strategy to swimming the 50 free?
1) Do you just go as hard as you can and hope you can stay strong till the end?
And
2) Same thing with breathing (if you can't last a lap without breathing) so do you pace your breathing or do you try to last as long as you can and then breath till the end?

Do you think a 100m track runner (9+sec) can keep that pace for 200m (19+sec, w/2nd 100 starting at full speed)?
2) If you can't make the whole 50 without breathing (I can't), then I'd suggest breathing more than once. You don't want to be concentrating on wanting to breathe, so breathe a few times and concentrate more on your technique- don't lose sight of going fast. :2cents:
