If these are done by the 50 on say :10 rest is there any way to glean a range of potential 200 times? Today at the behest of coach I did the 200 stuff he wants me to look into. Do you add x amount of time to the broken times to get a guesstimate or is that just wildly inaccurate?
I ask by my 200 time off the wall in um, not very good. But after doing these 50's, which is what my focus is in the 50/100, it looks more hopeful.
Thanks as always for the amazing knowledge base here on usms. Have a nice day:)

I was curious so I plotted last year's #1 SCY free times vs distance in my age group (45 - 49). It is almost a perfectly straight line, weird.
I did the same for my free 50/100/200 and 50/100/200 backstroke and there is a close linear relationship for me also. Would be interesting to do this for a range of USMS swimmers. Entry level, Mid Level, and Top 10 swimmers. I wonder if the relationship would become closer to linear as the level of swimmer and training intensity increases? One day when I have "lot's" of time on my hands I may attempt to do this for masters swimmers.
