By Kevin Donnelly, Swimming World College Intern.<\/em><\/p>\n

At the NCAA level of swimming, swimmers can participate in thirteen different individual events. Some of these events can clearly be defined as sprint events; for example, the 50 free can take the best men no more than 19 seconds, and the women no more than 22 seconds. Some other events can clearly be defined as distance events, with the best men\u2019s milers around 14 and a half minutes to complete their swim. Perhaps the most interesting of these races are the 200s; in particular the 200s of freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly.<\/p>\n

These four races are considered by many younger age group coaches to be long-distance races.\u00a0 USA Swimming intentionally doesn\u2019t have time standards or records for the 200s of back, breast, and fly for 10 and under swimmers, because they are believed to be too young to effectively swim such a long race of a stroke other than freestyle. We commonly see 11-12 swimmers participating in these events for the first time swim them with the third 50 being the slowest, due to the adrenaline of the start of the race wearing off and fatigue setting in around the third 50, but the adrenaline of almost being done picking back up by the fourth 50.<\/p>\n

But what about at the college level? Swimmers at the collegiate level are more physically capable than younger swimmers and have the experience of numerous 200s of free and\/or stroke, so they know what to expect and have developed strategies for them. How do NCAA swimmers swim the 200s of free and stroke?<\/p>\n

Using data extrapolated from the 2017 NCAA Men\u2019s and Women\u2019s Championship Meets, I looked at the 200s for all four strokes for each of the top 16 finishers\u2019 swims in the finals, and denoted which 50 they swam the slowest split. The following four tables will show a breakdown of each of the four strokes, with 32 data points (16 for the 16 men\u2019s finalists and 16 for the women\u2019s finalists) noted in each stroke. Take a look:<\/p>\n

Freestyle:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\n\t
First 50 Slowest<\/th>Second 50 Slowest<\/th>Third 50 Slowest<\/th>Fourth 50 Slowest<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
0<\/td>3<\/td>12*<\/td>18*<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n

Note:\u00a0Trevor Carroll<\/strong> (Louisville) split the same time (24.09) on both his third and fourth 50s in his 16th-place finish in the men’s 200 free.<\/em><\/p>\n

Backstroke:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\n\t
First 50 Slowest<\/th>Second 50 Slowest<\/th>Third 50 Slowest<\/th>Fourth 50 Slowest<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
0<\/td>3<\/td>13<\/td>16<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n

Breaststroke:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\n\t
First 50 Slowest<\/th>Second 50 Slowest<\/th>Third 50 Slowest<\/th>Fourth 50 Slowest<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
0<\/td>1<\/td>2<\/td>29<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n

Butterfly:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\n\t
First 50 Slowest<\/th>Second 50 Slowest<\/th>Third 50 Slowest<\/th>Fourth 50 Slowest<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
0<\/td>0<\/td>10<\/td>20<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n

Note:\u00a0Chase Kalisz<\/strong> (Georgia) and\u00a0Remedy Rule\u00a0<\/strong>(Texas) were disqualified in the 200 fly finals, so their swims are not included in this data set.\u00a0 Only 30 swims are represented on this table.<\/em><\/p>\n

Analysis:<\/h2>\n

So how do NCAA swimmers swim the 200s? Not surprisingly, no swimmer swam their slowest 50 on the first 50 of their 200s. The benefit of a start as well as the adrenaline of starting a race carried every swimmer through the early parts of the 200 and ensured the first 50 was not the slowest for anyone.<\/p>\n

Of the 127 data points found, only seven showed a swimmer who swam their slowest 50 on the second 50. Only 5.5 percent of swims had swimmers going their slowest split on the second 50. The most likely reason for this is due to the adrenaline of the first 50 continuing to carry swimmers on through the race.<\/p>\n

Along with that, swimmers at the college level are likely taught to treat the 200s as a sprint, thus creating an extremely fast first 100 yards and a slower second 100.\u00a0 This is likely the cause of the majority of slower splits being done on the back half of the 200s.<\/p>\n

The real interesting breakdowns are between the third and fourth 50s.\u00a0 In the freestyle, backstroke, and butterfly events, the tables show a moderate balance between the two 50s in terms of which is the slowest. In backstroke, we saw 16 people swam their slowest splits on the fourth 50, while 13 swam their slowest splits on the third. Meanwhile, in butterfly, we saw 20 swam their slowest splits on the fourth, with just ten swimming their slowest splits on the third.<\/p>\n

In breaststroke, however, the balance is not there in the least. An overwhelming 29 of the 32 swimmers (90.6 percent) swam their fourth 50 the slowest, with just three swimmers swimming faster on the fourth than on another 50.<\/p>\n

Why could this be? Since it is known breaststroke is naturally the slowest of the four strokes, it could be assumed the swimmers fatigue the most on breaststroke, thus causing them to run out of steam a bit near the end of the race much quicker than on backstroke or freestyle. The adrenaline of being just about done with the race likely isn\u2019t there for breaststrokers at the end of a 200, because they have to swim the longest of the 200s of stroke and fatigue more than the swimmers of other strokes as a result.<\/p>\n

Overall, 83 of the 127 data points, or 65.4 percent, showed the fourth 50 was the slowest 50 of the 200s of stroke; 37 of the 127, or 29.1 percent, found the third 50 to be the slowest; and 7 of the 127, or 5.5 percent, found the second 50 to be the slowest.<\/p>\n

Conclusions:<\/h2>\n

At the NCAA level in the future, it should be expected that the majority of swimmers in the 200s of free, back, breast, and fly will swim their slowest 50s on the fourth 50 of their races.<\/p>\n

This is especially true in breaststroke, where it is the rarest to see swimmers swim slower on another 50 other than the fourth. We can expect very few swims in the 200 breaststroke at the NCAA Championships to feature the slowest 50 on the second or third 50.<\/p>\n

Finally, we can hypothesize that college coaches teach their 200 swimmers to swim the 200 as more of a sprint, due to the data showing the vast majority of swimmers swimming their slowest 50s in the latter half of their races.<\/p>\n
