Thankyou! I’ve been looking for a video like this for so long but you explained it the best

[@myswimpro]

Glad it was helpful! Happy swimming :)

Ian Thorpe discussed this in a podcast with Brett Hawke. I think I’ll go with what he said as he knows a lot more on how to swim it.

[@christinefournier685]

What is his strategy ?

[@robertocaminosolis9070]

That's very interesting. Regarding to age groups. What strategy do you recomend for a master (> 50 years old) to perform the 200 free?

[@Pula0510]

i have a 200 in 8 days and im watching this like im gonna remember it

[@richardlevasseur6771]

Or the backstroke 200? Same strategy?

[@amiraabdelrahman9856]

Yes

[@andrewthomas8737]

Ian Thorpe the best at the 200 freestyle.

[@MindTechX]

Amazing

[@kcli5794]

how is the breathing pattern u suggest?

[@MonaLisaSuperSize]

So you said with the freestyle don't engage your kick right away in the 1st 50 , how does this work for breaststroke?

[@rory.taylor5863]

1 very long u/w phase

It's easy. Sprint the entire 200. Okay, maybe not the entire 200. Your first 50 should be wicked fast, sprint the next 2 50s, lose consciousness at 49.5 meters on the last 50. Your head ramming into wall at the finish will bring you back to consciousness. You'll look at the scoreboard 1:41.92. You go big time pro. BMW gives you are car and Omega gives you at watch. Good times.
