You really want someone to negative split that 400m 😅. To be honest. I think it's possible, but I think it'll be a achieved by a sprinter with great 100m top end speed
So basically don't go off to fast and save enough for the finish. Every athlete already knows this. The problem is find the optimum speed to go off from the start , that also leaves you with enough power to finish at fast speed and I guess that is what is being called the "easy" speed. That is where the difficulty lies, find that optimum easy speed, it is not that athletes are not using the easy speed strategy it is because it is extremely difficult to find. Even when World records are broken using the easy speed technique it is down to luck that they actually hit the speed perfectly. Maybe more training /practice sessions should be dedicated to the art of attaining the easy speed.
But I still cannot see the reason they banned the fast swimming suit, after all if all athletes wear it then nobody can claim that anybody has an unfair advantage.
its very difficult psychologically to go out easy and see other competitors out in front of you. you invariably start trying to catch them too soon for fear you are going to get left behind. watch "godspeed" on youtube for another great example of an explosive finish
when i was an intermediate swimmer and not even an expert yet, my mind told me "yo, you're neglecting the natural pace I and your body are giving you. Just decrease your speed by 3% and you'll be fine later in the race. Trust me bro." But you know what i did? I never listened to my gut feeling and because of it I've been a loser, full of resentment. Your mind is telling you to start thinking for yourself and not be enslaved to convention and what is common belief. Countless people from coaches to teachers, professor, parents, old people, young people, mentors and low lifes all push the belief that you can't think for yourself. Once you know you're in the matrix you realize how far it's borders extend and how caged you are. We wait for scientists to get their lab coats on and make their little studies on things that are so obvious only to give us their usually unnecessary opinion on what to do or tell us false information or just tell us what we already know.
You know what's stopping the world from reaching its fulll potential? In every field you'll always find the same phenomena: neglecring our gut feelimg/intuition. If only we return to our minds and we listen to our intuition we'll be masters of our craft. Sadly, we put science on pedestal and we forgot about our intuition. We forgot about history's teachings. We forgot to lisen to our gut.
The law of diminishing returns. At a certain level that id close to your limit you'll find that it is not worth to push further into the limit. Rather, it's better to conserve your energy and hold back by 1 to 3 % to and push later when everyone has used their energy and they have no reserves
The connection between swimming and track just doesn't work out. There have been many great backenders, like Chalmers and Magnussen, who have failed to break the 100m free world record, and have in fact been consistently beaten by people who instead went out faster (Dressel, Adrian). While a good race strategy definitely helped Popovici break the record, you can't deny that his efficient technique and strong kick were also very crucial parts helped him to maintain that backend speed.
And, in the 200 free, the problem why the event has stagnated is actually that people aren't going out fast enough and instead relying on a last 50 sprint finish. If you watch the 200 free where Popovici go a 1:42.9 you can see him slowly grind away from the competition each lap, rather than a rundown the last 50.

0:56 bro that is bs.
I don't think any swimmer ever thought that this record was impossible…
It's called a negative split.
