The Sprint Free Lane

[That Guy]

Thanks That,

MS 2.7.2 just states that it needs to be in writing to ref beforehand, thats it ?

Page142 is altitude adjust table

I meant 143

Thank you Rob. Was trying to view the pdf's on my phone which made it difficult. Anyhow, thinking of writing 50 requests for the 100, 200, and 400 frees at my states SCM event in Cola. The reason why is because I get faster with successive all-out attempts when practicing and furthermore screw up something.

Definately not the 1500 though, don't want to delay the meet - lol

What is the method for requesting a split of a greater distance event ? I understand it must be submitted in writing to the referee, but is that it?

The way it works in practice is,when you get to the meet go to the Clerk of the Course.Ask them for the request for split form.Fill it out and hand it to them.
Then it is a good idea to tell the others in your heat what you are going to do.

Thank you for the specifics, that's exactly what I needed. Makes perfect sense to let adjacent competitors know my plan so I wont distract them

After I touch in my split, when completing the remaining event on that wall can I push off (double touch) or do I need to start from the dig?

Touch with your hand to finish that length.Hang on to the wall for as long as you need to,then push off and finish the race. I did a 100 split in a 200 BR at my last meet and a friend asked why I hung on to the wall so long after the 100 and I said" because I was tired".(He knew I was doing the 100 split,he just thought I'd swim through it.)

hi there,
how much are sprinters slower compared to distance swimmers (for me, everything above 200m ) at the beginning of the season when training basic aerobic workout. I am currently in a group like this and its quite frustrating not to keep up with them
thanks

Haven't discovered if it's from laziness, genetics, or if I'm genetically lazy, but I'm progressively slower than distance people in events from 50 and up. The only thing I'm not much slower than distance swimmers in is perhaps the 25, but I haven't done this one yet.

This is cool - Biondi vs Jager, again? Old school everything yet very, very fast.
