So here's my story. I swam a meet this past Saturday and did pretty good. Got a :26.11 on the 50m free and a :58.86 on the 100m free, this was LCM. Here are some stats from the race:
1st length: 36spl, 6 sdks, split was about :27.5 (guessing based on time from the camera)
2nd length: 40spl, 5 sdks, split was :31.36
My dive was pretty bad as I my feet and hands hit at the same time. I think my turn was ok. My observation is this: I feel that if I can swim the 50 in almost 26 flat, it seems I should be able to hit a :56.xx for the 100.
So, my question is how do I work on this? Based on the "splits" it looks like I should develop more endurance for the 2nd 50? Also, is there any way to tell what a optimum spl would be for a 5' 10," 174lb swimmer would be? I've got a semi-long term goal of going :54-:56. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The only thing I could see was you might be burying your head a little too much.
Awww, Kirk stole my comment.
Really look at your head position for that first 50. You should not have water breaking on the back of your neck.
