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.

Great question. I think you have to train at several different levels--En1, En2, En3 as well as sprints--but how much of each? The answer may depend on the individual. Most Masters swimmers have a limited amount of time, and it's difficult to fit that many sets into 15-20,000 yards/week.
