I'm looking to gain more knowledge about sprint freestyle swimming. As an long retired distance freestyler I don't have a great deal of personal knowledge of how to swim the 50 or 100 freestyle. I've coached many sprint freestylers and I know that many of the best sprinters have what I would say an amazing strategy to their sprint swims. I am currently giving private lessons to many age groupers and high school swimmers and I've been explaining to them that some of the best sprinters in the world swim their 50 or 100 with more strategy than just the plain old thought of swimming "FAST".
I would very much appreciate any of you sprinters out there who would like to share your strategies for swimming these two events. I would love to be able to pass on some of this information, but I think many of us in the masters community could learn from some of you as well. I look forward to seeing some of the responses. Maybe I will try sprinting one day (LOL):rofl: .

Solar,
Tell me how you can see the flash outdoors, you would have to have your head turned in a very uncomfortable position.
Agreed, at least I think ... I donno.
99.9% of competitions in our province are held indoor. We've had a decent outdoor pool since 2005. We held the Worlds in here.
Our local pool is in the region of Quebec. And that's the best pool in the region, and by far. 50mx8 lanes. And the flash is so intense you don't have to worry. You can't really miss it. We have a good knowledge of the other pools as well (nation wide).
