For a 54-year old (that's me), which is more critical to limit the potential swim speed between flawed technique and unathletic strength?
Well, I'll actually try to improve both. However, many people around me mainly focus on swimming more laps and gym workout, while don't bother about improving their technique at all, despite their techniques being far from efficient.
Wow, that is surprising. I know the Army's perfect score was an 11:54 for 2 miles, which makes 10.5 for 1.5 miles seem like a walk in the park. NO swim option there, either. This is for the younger crowd, though, so maybe the ages we are discussing are different.I was referring to the time standards in an age group (50-59), well beyond average retirement age, with a minimum standard of like 16 minutes. For an experienced swimmer 500 yds in 8 min is just 9 solid solid turns with good breathing rhythm. Another 30 seconds faster with a shavedown and tech suit.
