For a start,
Why do a broken 200 as opposed to a regular 200? What is the particular advantage of breaking up the distance (or any distance for that matter)?
Is it better to break it up at the 50 or the 100?
What is the ideal rest time between 50's and 100's within a broken 200?
What is the ideal rest time between broken 200's within a set?
What is the ideal number of 200's to do in a set?
Are the accumulated times of a broken 200 an accurate indicator of how fast you can actually go?
If breaking it up at the 50, how much time should be added on for each flip turn?
How many broken 200's should I be able to do at a specific time to be confident that I could repeat that time in a race?
at UT we'd leave on the 30
swim a 50, rest 10 sec,
swim a 50, rest 10 sec,
swim a 50, rest 10 sec,
swim a 50
you could also
100 rest 10
050 rest 10
050
I think the best way to train for 200's is to swim fast 200's with plenty of rest, like on 5 or 6 minutes
If you do 200's with not much rest you're actually training to swim longer events
for me, my broken 200 times were way faster than my 200 times in meets so for me they don't mean much
The fewer times you stop the more accurate your time will be
we'd also do broken 100's
50 rest 10
25 rest 10
25
You need to get accustomed to how bad it hurts to swim 100's & 200's fast.
Get tougher & wiser.
