  • The difference between your two 100's was 13.94 seconds. For the IM's there's no hard and fast rule for ideal splitting but 13.94 is a high number. Looking over my own Masters results in the 200 IM, my best difference is 7.26 and my worst is 10.84. I'm a lousy breaststroker but I usually do keep my fly and free splits close together. As others have noted, you should probably take it out a bit slower on the fly.
