Overview

Comparative analysis reveals swimming speed variations across top and other competitors, indicating critical insights on race pacing.

Key Points

  • Top performers maintained an average swimming speed of 1.53 m/s to 1.50 m/s during the race.
  • Swimming speed for top performers was 92.7% of their calculated critical speed.
  • Participants in lower performance groups showed a significant decrease in speed from lap 1 to lap 6.
  • The study highlights the correlation between anaerobic metabolism and speed reduction in open-water swimming.
