I am looking for some guidance on entering a seed time for the 500 Free. I have never swum the event in competition and do not want to be too far off from what it should be.
I know this might not be enough information, but I just want to have a rough, conservative idea:
Best Times:
100 yd Free 1:02 (29/33)
200 yd Free 2:27 (33/37/39/38)
I don't even have a practice time, but I can tell you I tend to be a little better at shorter distances in practice than longer distances.
Any help would be appreciated.
Well there is always the NT (no time) option, but if you want the enter a time I’d guess 6:32.47.
Would you mind sharing how you came up with that time?
When I first started masters and did meets regularly, I asked my coach at the time (Ron Johnson) this question. He had me get on the blocks and do a 50 scy free right then (at the end of practice). After he got my time, he gave me times for all the events I wanted (50, 100, 200, 500 fr, 50, 100, 200 br), and he was extremely close on all of them.
