How do you pace yourself when swimming?

Answer 1

When you are swimming it depends what you are swimming to pace yourself and what your body can handle. For example: When you swim a 200 you should always sprint the third 50 because that is where most people get tired. Also, it also depends on the length of the event. When you swim a 1000 you should sprint the first and last 200, and in the middle you should change paces depending on the way that your body feels.
