There are two NCAA qualifying standards in each race - the A standard, and the B standard.  If a swimmer acheives the A standard during the season, before NCAAs, they are automatically qualified for the meet.  If they qualify for the B standard but not the A, they have to wait to see how many swimmers qualify ahead of them.  If there are fewer than 24 swimmers in the country that make the A standard, they'll allow the fastest B qualifiers enter in order to bring the total number of entrants up to 24.

the top runners in a 5K will finish in  12-15 minutes, but most people will feel good getting a time in the 20-25 minute range.  Nearly anyone can finish in under an hour.\ntop 10K runners finish in under 30 minutes, but most average runners come in around 45-60 minutes.

it really depends what you want to do with your swimming. but here are three good workouts that you can switch around to help you out\n\n300 warm-up\n\n8 x 50 choice\n\n8 x 50 kick with board\n\nprymiad\n50\n100\n150\n200\n200\n150\n100\n50\n\n8 x 25 choice\n\n150 warm down \n\nall swims should have about 10 t0 15 sec rest. when it gets to easy up the yardage you can also swap out the prymiad with a long set like 10 x 100 or 5 x 200 just take it easy and start out slow

An easy way to answer your question would be that you take a glide in your breaststroke, in this glide you can rest (and stretch) usually for 1-3 seconds (in a lap-swimmer non-competitive style breaststroke).  You do not get this pause/rest/glide in freestyle, thus it feels like you are working harder in freestyle and can swim for longer with breaststroke. \nBy The Way...Bogeythedog's comments are also valid, take them on board also.

I tried out for the Paralympics Time Trials in Swimming in 1996 and 2000.  I swim with the Special Olympics.  You can email me.

Well I have been a competitive swimmer sense I was 5 years old and started swimming lessons when I was  six months old now.\n\nMy regular work out consists of about 9-10,000 everyday\n\nNow sense you are just starting I think you should only do about 2-3,000 meters which is about 80-120 laps \n\nFreestyle you should make sure to rotate your HIPS not just your shoulders. If you coach says rotate your SHOULDERS he is wrong! If you rotate you hips it helps you cut through the water smoothly. When you breath only put about half your face out of the water most likely not a full recovery\n\nButterfly, Now this is the hardest of all the strokes. When you are kicking butterfly kick you use your core (your abs) the butterfly kick is not done with your legs it is done with your core. when you breath keep your chin and arms on the surface of the water.\n\nBackstroke, Well when you do a stream line underwater do not  blow out, if you have a longer streamline then you will be faster. It is proven that a swimmer is faster under water then being on the surface of the water. Remember rotate your hips and your shoulders if you do not rotate your hips and shoulders it can cause serious shoulder pains.\n\nBreaststroke, When you do breaststroke your pull out needs to be deep so you can cut  through the water easily. You do not want any water pressure. Water pressure is the top of the water it makes it difficult to swim through. When you do breast stroke do NOT kick out bring your feet up to your butt and kick around hard until your ankles hit. Your hips should be up and your arms should be stretched out far.\n\n\nAsk your coach for additional help

I pretty much do the same..if it is a big meet, visualize ur races. Picturing the race from start to finish, perfect strokes etc...exactly how you want to swim it... do this as you are lying down and going to sleep.

at 53 sec (assuming you're a guy) you should try and do some 600s and 800s.  having a good 800 makes your finish stronger- you lose a little bit of power, but you can keep your power very well.  world class 800 runners can do 45-46 sec. 400s.  you should try to shoot for 2:10-2:20 in the 800 and see how it works

You might want to use the link listed below to calculate your time.  There are quite a few of these javascript programs available and all are very similar.  As a marathoner, I have found these calculators to be very useful from time to time in determining the required pace needed to achieve a specific time in a marathon.  Hope this helps.\n\nhttp://www.marathonguide.com/fitnesscalcs/pacecalc.cfm

It's different for each person.  I don't know if you're a runner or not.  Only the very best women will do a 5K in under 20 minutes.\n\nIf it's your first 5K race, don't worry about your time.  Just do your best.\n\nThen when you do your second 5K race, you'll know what is a "good time" for you.
