I swam everything with my usual technique. 50m Freestyle was the best because I swallowed lots of water trying to breath - was covered by wave from another participant. Breaststroke just a bit better than half year ago in the same pool. IM terrible transition turn from back to breast - lost there at least a second, pity there were no flags (.
Quite a late meet this year. Didn't prepare much for it, but decided to experiment a bit with my technique, especially with fly. I hoped for better results but being honest my results are not bad counting that we swam without starting blocks.
For freestyle I have concentrated on higher pace.
50m freestyle split: 25m - 0:14.35 (19 strokes / 25m)
50m - 0:29.25 (14.90) (23 strokes / 25m)
No major changes for breaststroke. Just trying to lay as high as possible and making no pauses in my pulls.
50m breaststroke split: 25m - 00:15.90 (11 strokes / 25m)
50m - 0:34.59 (18.69) (13 strokes / 25m)
Most experimental race. At first I used completely different technique for fly - higher pace and only 1 kick because I cannot time my 2nd kick while swimming with such a high pace, but time is definitely better. Also higher pace on my backstroke - it helped but not to much. Of course it's quite annoying to swim freestyle lap with almost the same time as the breaststroke lap. :(
100m IM split: 25m - 0:14.73 (11 strokes / 25m)
