Highest yearly swim totals

One of our swimmers on the Elgin Blue Wave Masters team brought up a guy who swims 14,000 yards a day each and every day to achieve his yearly total. I find this really difficult to comprehend. Has anyone heard of such swimmers?

  • It depends on your goals, if your goal is to swim as much as you can in a day or year, fine. If your goal is to swim fast, then I doubt this mega-yardage is especially good for that. If you are doing marathon type swims, then it probably is worthwhile. Anyone know many of these mega-yardage swimmers are making Top Ten, or All Americans?
