Looking for help on estimating a time. If my 100yard breaststroke time is 1:09.4, what would you predict for a 200yard breaststroke time?
I know it depends if I'm more sprint or distance oriented, a range is fine, but I'd say I'm in the middle of the road in terms of endurnce.

I personally think you could've taken that first 50 out in a 33 mid, and still have enough in you to split 37, 38, 38...2:27, 2:28.
That third 50 is where you just rely on your technique and the 4th 50 you just go at it with whatever you have left.
Don't mean to be argumentative but I disagree.
An elite swimmer like Paul Kornfeld - finalist in both the 100 and 200 at NCAAs swam a 52.05/1:52.55 for a multiple of 2.16.
Your suggestion for the OP is an even tighter multiple of 2.15. I think very few non-elite swimmers can do that - and it looks to me the OP might be more of a sprinter than a middle distance guy.
