I just finished my last meet of the year, and I’m trying to decide what I’m good at and what strokes & distances to focus on for next year. Since January, I’ve really focused on endurance and improved in the longer events, but I’m not sure whether I should keep focusing on those or move back to the shorter events. I've been told that my stroke is pretty but not powerful. Here are my approximate best times in all the events I’ve swum, almost all from the past year or so (all SCY, female, college club swimmer). Basically the question is, what am I good at/what can I improve in/any other comments on my times/etc. I don't want to bias you by saying what I think I might be good at until I hear what some of you think.

I know that my best event is the 200 free, but I don't care to swim it because it makes my legs hurt for 2 days and slows down the rest of my meet. Do what you enjoy the most.
(Oh and your best events are the 50 fly and 100 IM)
