How much slower is the second half?

A typical Tawa swimmer swims the second half of a race 9% slower than the first, about the same as the 8% typical for swimmers of the same age and gender in the same events.

Each swimmer’s typical race of 100 m or more in one stroke, beside New Zealand swimmers of the same age and gender in the same event and pool. The first half holds the start, so even an evenly swum race has a slower second half.
