200 Breaststroke

If you want to swim a good 200 *** you need to learn pace. What works for me for pace is doing 100's with twice as much rest as swimming,trying to keep the times at the speed I want to swim the second 100. If you have a goal time this works great. If you don't I'd suggest doing 100's on the 4 min. Start at a moderate pace and the see if you can go faster each time. When you can't go faster this is now your goal time. Try to keep every 100 at that speed. After 2-3 weeks try to see if you can lower your goal time. Do this 1-2 times per week. Thanks Allen would you reccomend say doing this Monday and Friday and working on stroke/style on wednesday. (this is my workout schedule?) Also how long or # reps should I do the above workout? Should I do a nice easy 1/4 mile first then start or less warm up. would your goal time be my entry time on the form too? Sorry for nub questions.
