I am very interested to know what times the sprinters out there are swimming on the 100m free and 50m free respectively.
As a newcomer to the sport, I am interested to know, how different 50m sprinting times are to 100m sprinting times.
I am asking because I am struggling to make sense of my performance in the the two respective routines. My fastest 50m time is 30,41s while my fastest 100m time is 1;09s. Surely I should be able to go faster in the 100m if I can do the 50m in 30s?
My very first meet back, after a 27 year layoff from the sport, followed by ~2 months of training:
100m Free (SC) 1:10.16
50m Free (SC) :30.52
ratio 2.30
10 more months of hard training later:
100m Free (LC) 1:03.50
50m Free (LC) :28.49
ratio 2.23
frankly, I blew the start on the 100, should have gone ~1:03.25 which would be a ratio of 2.22
The only time I've swam both in a meet since was
100y Free :57.41
50y Free :26.05
ratio: 2.20
