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.

Well, as an adult swimmer in his 30s with a child and a full time job, I'm nowhere near 30k yards per week. I swim 3-4 times a week 3-4k yards per practice (coach makes up the workouts and they are not specific to my goals, but for the all around swimmer). I didn't get in the pool unil Sept of '04 (was a HS swimmer). I know I need to swim more, but my question is how should I swim the additional yards. I can probably get 1 more workout per week in on the weekend. I was thinking of having it be a longer session (5-6k yards), but how to do them to meet my goals of getting my 500 back down to 5:30ish (from 6:10ish) and my 200
