Because of this, our Elite Clinicians will give insight into different strategies for your swimmer to try in their 200 and see what works best for them! Your swimmer needs to have enough speed at the beginning of the race while also having enough energy at the end to finish strong.
Races that are 200 yards or meters are some of the most difficult to swim because they are halfway between a sprint and a distance event. Whether your swimmer goes out hard or finishes strong, having a race plan before a distance event is very important!ĭAY 2 (THURSDAY) : RACING THE 200’S (FOCUS: FREESTYLE, BACKSTROKE, BREASTSTROKE)
