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'm middle distance all the way, I just went
1:09.80 in the 100 br
2:30.82 in the 200 br
My goggles filled up in the 100, though, so I was prolly a hair slower than I would've gone without a goggle mishap.
2:32.93
I went to USA Swimming's Power Point calculator and your 100 *** time gives you 370 points. 370 points for a 200 *** is 2:32.93.

I went to USA Swimming's Power Point calculator ...
I tried that out, entering 1:10.00 for 100 free (SCY). Unfortunately the age only goes up to 40 (what's up with that?). I clicked calculate and it returned "1". Guess that means I'm a (55yo) wimp?

depends on many things
how well conditioned you are
if you are a sprinter or a middle distance swimmer
how close the 100 time is to your true potential
how your 200 race goes, turns splitting ...
the bench mark how many seconds you have to add when you
double you 100 time
double 100 time & add _____ seconds
06 - 10 : Distance swimmers
10 - 14 : Typical 100 swimmers
14 - 20 : sprinters, bad splitters, & poorly conditioned swimmers
my guess is 2:33
1:09 + 1:09 + 15 = 2:33
now find out.

I'd predict a 2:35 +/- 2.5 secs if you don't blow it going out too hard the first 75.

YOU DID YOUR MATH WRONG
63 + 63 = 126
2:18 = 138 sec
138 - 126 = 12 sec
1:13 + 1:13 = 2:26
2:41 - 2:26 = 15 SEC
I'd guess 2:30-2:35
the key to a good time in the 200 is being able to keep your underwater pullouts long and effective.
I was a 1:03 / 2:18 yds swimmer before quitting (15s)
currently a 1:13 / 2:41 meters swimmer. (28s)
but hoping to get to 1:11 / 2:35 over the next 17 months.

oops, your're right....I guess it's not a good idea to post with one arm while holding a sick squirming baby in the other.
now I feel better about my times.
