Ack. It appears that I am going to have to break down and finally swim my first masters 100 SCY free at zones. Since I'm sure you all have done it many times, can someone please tell me what is the most ideal breathing pattern(s)? I noticed watching the World Championships that many of the 100 freestylers (especially the men) breathed almost every stroke, which is not how I used to swim that race. Were they breathing more to save for the SDKs? What say you freestyle sprinters?
So now that we have covered various breathing permutations, I have to ask: why does everyone think this race is so hard? I can only think of about three races I'd rather swim, and I think of the 100 as a good barometer of where I am.
