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.

Fred, Thanks! My son (Noah) is 17 and a senior this year. He has great age group and HS coaches who have helped him tremendously and I hope he goes on to greater improvements as a college and Masters swimmer!
And for the other High School swimmers out there, hard work, dedication and good coaching does pay off. As a freshman, Noah’s best 200 was 2:00.5 and didn’t qualify for state, as a sophomore he went 1:50.5 and made top 16 at state, as a junior he went 1:45.3 for 3rd place and this year he went the 1:39.99 for second place. While your mileage may vary, everyone should set goals and strive to reach them. It’s an amazing feeling when they are achieved.
