I have no idea where I would fit with all the expereinced swimmers on this site. I do a one mile
swim, no stopping, no flip turns, in the 48-51minute time frame. No idea whether this is good,
great, bad, average, slightly above average for a middle aged male? Comments please.
I do not stop between sets, although not doing a flip turn, I do recognize a get a3- 5 second
break or so.
Also, recommendations from the group. I do 3-4 swims per week. From a workout, stroke
betterment/practice am I better off to move the work out to say one and a half miles, keeping it at
the 3-4 sessions/swims per week, or should I increase the swims to 5-6 days per week keeping the
work out at one mile. My only objective other than fitness is to be able to accomplish/enhance my
open water swimming this summer. Please note, that if I do not switch strokes during the mile I find
my free style getting sloppy. I generally do one breast, 9 freestyle, one breast,...etc. Problem is
doing breast in open water wearing a tri wet suit. Thx in advance for the groups comments/critiques.
