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.

How to train depends on what you can currently do and what is limiting you. A single time for the 200 is not enough information to know what you need to improve.
When you say 4x50 in the 30s, are you asking about holding 50s between 30 and 40 seconds? How low in the 30s? I can hold 36 to 38 with 50s on the 1:00. Maybe on the :55. Am I in the range you are thinking of or are you saying 50s at :30 holding? Just wondering and trying to see where I fall?
Thanks for the clarification.
