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: .

PS: Will you swim MIMS again in the future? TI will become a prominent sponsor of Manhattan Island Foundation in 2007 and we plan to enter one or more relays.
I'd like to, but I'm not sure. Since I didn't make it this year (there is a thread over in the open water forum where I discussed this - actually, it covers both 2005 & 2006 MIMS), it sticks in my craw, but I have a bunch of things on my plate that need to be dealt with first. Also, registration opens on 1 November this year and I'm not going to have things in order by then.
Still...
