I've done CSS tests before some big swims and it has been pretty much bang on for IM and a 5k. The hardest thing about CSS is getting a clear enough pool to be able to do it properly in, I've had a few messed up due to a really slow swimmer deciding to jump into the fast lane and clog it all up.

[@myprocoach123]

Thanks for your comment. Yes, that's true, it must be very frustrating to have your test interrupted.

[@djangoes6663]

If I go maximum effort in the test over 200m and 400m (with recovery), and CSS is the average of both speeds, how am I supposed to hold that speed over 1,500m - if I can’t even hold it for 400m?

[@myprocoach123]

You asked a good question. The CSS is not an average of the two speeds. Instead, the time taken for 200m is subtracted from the time taken to complete the 400m; then the resultant time is divided by two to get your min per 100m pace. CSS is reliant upon the relationship between the two parts of the test as well as the speed itself.
