Hi! I have seen a freestyle pace chart (i.e., a list of various 100 yard/meter goal times, usually in intervals differing by 1 second, that says what times you need to go in your 25s/50s to hit that goal time). Does anyone have one specific to breaststroke?
Apologies if this question has already been asked.
Thanks!

How fast to go out in a 200 depends on many factors such as conditioning and how much you are a sprinter vs a distance person.I like to go out my 1st 50 about 3-4 sec slower than my fastest 50 in SCY and 4-5 sec slower in LCM.I want to split my 1st 100 4 sec faster than my 2nd.I think most Masters swimmers split more than that meaning they go out too fast.At the SPMA SCM meet I was seeded with swimmers about my speed(of course,seeded 4th fastest)and my split difference was 5 sec.I was told that at the 50 I was 8th of 8,at the 100 I was 6th,at the 150 4th and finished 2nd(and was told I'd have gotten 1st in a 202M race.)This means to me that everyone went out too fast.
