Converting back and forth between minutes and seconds to get your splits is tedious, so I wrote a simple python program to do it. Maybe MS excel does it for you, but I wouldn't know, I haven't used any MS products in almost a decade. This will work on a Mac from the shell window (renamed to splits.txt to upload. rename it back to splits.py and make it executable with chmod to run it, but you knew that if you use a Mac, right?)

ah, I can't get python format strings to work like I'm used to other languages behaving. change __str__ if you want seconds 't get python float format strings to behave.
if (self>60):
return '%d:%02d.%02d' % (self / 60, self % 60, 100 *((self % 60) - int(self % 60)))
else:
return '%02d.%02d' % (self % 60, 100 *((self % 60) - int(self % 60)))

Add left handedness and dvorak keyboard layout into the mix and it would probably leave just me.
My strategy by 100s was to swim 5 speeds: super slow, slow, moderate, fast, and all-out. If you adjust the first 50 by 2 seconds to account for the start, my splits are pretty even. I think this is the way to swim a distance event. If you go out too fast you are wasting energy.
