Hardly worth the effort. Yet, when it comes to pool racing, half that distance, m, seems like an awful long way. My controlled scientific study, which involved asking two other open water swimmers I met last weekend at the Swim England National Masters Championships in Sheffield, confirmed that this perception is widespread. The question is, why? Freestyle races at masters events cover the following distances: 50m, m, m, m, m and m.
The latter, 60 lengths of the 25m pool, has far too many turns for my liking, so I rarely do it. The 50m is a flat out two-length dash. To do it well, you have to nail your start, turn and finish.
The m is similar, but requires pace judgement over the first 50m and enough endurance to keep it all together for the second 50m. The m is my favourite. Good pacing is vital. Keep focused to maintain pace on the third 50m and then sprint for the finish. When you double the distance again, to m, you start pushing my limits of what seems like a feasible distance to swim in a pool. Sixteen lengths is a huge challenge to my counting ability for one thing.
