If one of the kids I coach wanted to swim a 1:58 200 free, and is in good health and can swim a :54 flat 100 free, what splits should they target for their 4 50's? I know that the 200 is the longest sprint, but how does :27, :30, :31, :30 sound? Thanks for the input.

Interesting stats, Rob.
Far more scientific and analytical than the method I have used:
First 50 -- Not all-out. Get a feel for the water. Don't fall too far behind.
Middle 100 -- Sprint it like a 100 race.
Last 50 -- Survive.
