I was looking at Go The Distance and there are people who have swum 50-60 miles in the first 11 days of the year. I'm curious what they are doing.

When aren’t they? Saint Swithun Day?
I think us distance folks are just more frugal. For my $4 event entry fee at nationals I can swim my 1650 Free which works out to $13.20/hour, while your 50 Free works out to around $120/hour.
I look at it as a VAS (Value Added Swim). If it were tradeable, the average 50 From a good sprinter would be worth the $120...whereas $4 to watch people plod up and down the pool for an extended period is priced that way because of market saturation.

NB Steve I am playing along, it's all for fun ;)
