Pace yourself! If you have zero endurance, like me, and don't know how to pace yourself, go a little more than moderate for the first 150 or so and then sprint the last 25 or 50. Also practice your flipturns, my coach told me that a good flip turn can shave 3 seconds off of your time.
IT REALLY DEPENDS, if u r swimming in long course then u don't want to swim as fast b/c u wil get tired easily but in short course u want to swim faster. The first lap get ahead of everybody and then the second lap just pace yourself but stay in front or get closer to the front (ahead of everbody) i have a lot of endurance so pretty easy for me. On thrid get a little faster, and get faster ans faster with each lap, on last 50 sprint a fast as possible!!!! i know all this b/c DAVID MARSH COACHES ME AND I SWIM AT MAC (MECLENBURG AQUATIC CLUB) MANY OLYMPIANS HAVE BEEN THERE!!!!! AND BEEN COACHED THERE TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree with this answer above. Pace yourself, IN THE BEGINNING. But TRY to go a little faster each 50. So i guess you start out kinda slow but by the end youre sprinting.
