How many here are sprinters and how many long distance swimmers?

I understand your problem with 200 yard swims, Phil. Mine is with breastroke. I should be doing around 3:25 to 3:35 given my times in the 50 yard and the 100 yard. I think that there were a few factors that day why I swam a 3:43.98. One the wind had made me have a bad cough before the 50 yard, I had to find into a small place at the meet to stop from coughing. I had trouble breathing and came up real fast on the underwater pull since I lack oxgenpr Second, I already swam the 100 yard breastroke and 50 yard breastoke that day and my legs were tired. Thirdly, I go out slow and don't know how to pace it. At a short course meters I went out slow too but I spilt it much better and I was able to stay down longer on the truns and it was the first event that day. I did the meter swim at 3:53.85 only 10 seconds slower than the yard time. It hard for us when we don't swim breastroke or butterfly that much in races at 200 yards how to pace the race.
