Hi,
Im new to triathlon and am interested to know how fast (or slow) triathletes like yourselves tend to swim 400m when training and how this may vary during competition.
Thanks.

Importantly you need to get your breathing and technique right first, after that the rest should fall into place.
Good Luck.

71/2 is mid pack for a 400 pool swim tri, work on stroke quality and speed/recovery. try to find a coached session, either at the local pool or with your local Tri club. Last resort, join the local swim club!

My fastest for a 400m is around 8.45. I can bang out a 100m in around 2.00, but can't keep that pace up! I just start running out of steam. I'm generally in the bottom 10-20% with a 400m time like that. I completed my first year of tri last year & the swim sessions were a bit ad hoc, just tending to jump in & swim with no real structure. This year I'm much more organised & have downloaded some swim sets off the Zoggs website & take those to the pool with me, plus have joined a tri club with coached sessions. I'm hoping to see some improvements this year as a result.
Cheers
