1st 1000 free. Need advice.

Swimming my first 1000 free Sunday. How should this be paced based on the 500? If I average 1:14's for the 500, can I hold this or will breakfeast reverse on me?

  • I'll be doing the 1,000 along with you on Sunday. I usually attempt even splitting my 500's. Try and keep your stroke long throughout the swim. Don't rush your stroke. You can also try and descend by 250's. It helps to break up the swim. Good advice. See you there! One thing I try in the 500 is to keep the stroke count the same so I establish a rythm with my turns. Toward the end of a 500 I start getting close to needing an extra stroke. I think I will try to hold the stroke count.
