Strategy for 200 FR

Former Member
Former Member
I've never raced a 200, or even a 100 FR; my 50 FR SCY is 26.8. I'm in a USA meet Sept 20th - expecting to get trounced by kids half my age, but still I want to put in a good showing. How should I race? What should my 50 pace be? How do I not die on the last 50? etc... I'm 44, male, swimming masters only 2 years, still learning lots, and open to all feedback - thanks!

    I have never in my life done over 2.10 for a 200scy. My first 200 free was done when I was 15 against George Stulac from West End Y Toronto time 2.05+. I have never done a 200 race since the 1960s. I may attempt one next year??? Hi George I'm a bit curious. 55 years (or so) ago, what was you best 50 free LCM? 100? :bow:
