I swam in a non-santioned meet Sunday (short course meters). I did a 25 *** in 17.63, and in the 50 a 39.71. Given my 25 time, should my 50 time be better? The 25 has almost no aerobic demand. I always heard multiply by 2.2, which would equate to 38.786.
Both races had decent starts and I thought I did a pretty good turn on the 50.
I guess the real question I am asking is if this likely has to do with not being conditioned enough to swim a faster 50.
Clarification: These were separate races...the 25 time was NOT a split for the 50.
I swam 25 free and 50 free, in that order, about 10 mins apart. Then about an hour break. Then swam 25 and 50 *** the same way...with about a ten minute break. I swam about a 400 warmup before the meet and cooled down during the long break, but not between the 25s and 50s.
