Wow! Looks strong and smooth to me!!!!

very impressive. You had really good rhythm throughout the race. Splits were pretty sweet too. Definitely do some USA Meet if you are doing times like that at a In-season Masters Meet. Bravo!

I see no real problems. How much faster do you want to go ? Try breathing to the side to keep your head even lower.

Splits are good. If you want to go faster, you need more kick. You are swimming with all arm strength right now. Bring in the kick at 150 and the last 50 speed will be closer to the first. If you can kick hard all the way, you will drop 10 seconds.

awesome swim!

Wow, that was awesome. I don't see a whole lot wrong there. Maybe experiment a bit with breathing. Below is breathing for each 25 (o=breathe, x=no breathe). I'm not saying your pattern was bad, just pointing it out. Perhaps don't take three breaths in a row on the 5th and 6th 25, but make the patern like the 7th. oxoxo, 5 breaths oxoxoxoo, 5 breaths oxoxoxoo, 5 breaths oxoxooxo, 5 breaths oxoxoooxo, 6 breaths oxoxoxooo, 6 breaths oxoxooxoo, 6 breaths oxoxoxoxo, 5 breaths It was really an awesome performance. You were pushed a little bit, but enter USA meets to really challenge yourself. You got the suit...wear a cap!

Hmmm, Looks like a nice race. Technique looks great. Kicking strategy seems appropriate. Very nice SDK on first 25. Given that a 200 is made of a 100 dive and a 100 push, your race was almost done negative splits (1.7s delta). Fair level of splashes upon arm entry, especially as you get further into the race. In a 200, that can make a little difference. Has 1:59 been your best performance so far? Have you ever try a 200 breathing every 1 instead of every 2? Congratulations. A very nice race!

Nice race. Think it was Piersol. They do breathe alot!! I guess it really helps as long as it does not disturb body position.

always say what lane you're in what you're wearing what are your recent and best ever times and splits for? 50 fl & 50 fr 100 fl & 100 fr 200 fl & 200 fr 500 fr 400 IM what's your age? height & weigth? what sort of training did you do at your peak what sort of training are you doing now what are your goals on your race you looked smooth and relaxed how many SDKs did you take off each wall? 27.8 30.9 (58.7) 30.7 29.6 your splits tell me you had too much left over maybe go out a little faster and try hold the same times on the next 3 50's like 29.9s ande

Nice race. Think it was Piersol. They do breathe alot!! I guess it really helps as long as it does not disturb body position. And even if it does, I think what most 200 specialists tend to demonstrate nowadays is that you have to develop a stroke mechanics that allows for breathing every stroke without any penalty. Funny enough, I showed up to a *training competition* last weekend for the 50m butterfly. Being a 200m specialist, I always breathe every stroke in practice. You know what? I think I forgot not to breathe during this 50, and I still came close to my season's PB, including the fact that I tried (but failed) to extend the SDK duration (I could see my opponents under water escaping very rapidly). If it wasn't for this SDK failure, I would have got a new PB whilst breathing every stroke on a 50m. That said, I won't do this mistake twice.
