Race Pace Workout
 
To me this is the best way to determine your race pace in a pool, swim a straight 1,000 (hard swim) and record your time. Divide the time by 10 to get your 100 race pace time. This is now your race pace time for the 100. If your time works out to be 1:40 you do your 10 x 100 with a 10 sec rest on 1:50, if 1:20 repeat on 1:30.
