Hi all,
I'm wondering if anyone is aware of any online calculators you can use to predict your time in an event. For example, "I swam 100m free in 1:28, what would I be able to swim the 800m free in?"
I know this wouldn't be an absolute predictor, just something to give myself an idea of where I would be in the various events, without having to go out and swim them all in competition. :-)
Many thanks,
Canuck
It depends, each swimmer is different,
there are no hard and fast formula's
We need to see how more of your times compare:
Swim the following fast for time:
50
100
200
500
give us those & we can make fairly accurate guesses
It all depends on:
+ What you are, (sprinter, middle distance, or distance)
+ How you've trained in the past,
+ How you've been training recently
+ How you split your races
So we need more data, all we have is one point of reference
if you look at one swimmers 50 paces for the following swims
50 fr
100 fr
200 fr
500 fr 400 fr
1000 fr 800 fr
1650 fr 1500 fr
3000 fr
5000 fr
10,000 fr
each swimmer's times plots a line
