Guide
Learn pacing from 100m to 1500m and use race strategy that improves splits and finishing speed.
Early overpacing causes technical breakdown and costly slowdown. Controlled starts followed by progressive pressure usually produce better results.
Put this guidance into practice with structured swim training in the DuoSwim App.
Short races need high but controlled output from the start. Mid-distance events reward even pacing and a decisive final build.
Use broken swims, descending sets, and best-average formats to teach repeatable pace control under fatigue.
