This weekend I have an 1/2 postal swim in my local 25 meter pool and will be aiming for 1600+ meters. I am age group D and have been swimming for the last 9 months after 20 odd years away from the blocks.
My question is do you have a 1/2 hour postal swim in the States and can someone please post a link for recent results/distances swum?
Many thanks, Paul
Here in the states the closest we have is the hour postal swim and it is conducted as a yards event. Results from last year can be found on the USMS web site at www.usms.org/longdist
You can multiply the USMS distances by 0.46 to get an approximate comparable distance for 1/2 hours metric swimming.
Well I swam my 1/2 hour postal today.
I managed 1725 SCM(which I think is about 1900SCY)with goggle problems. I stopped briefly, twice, to adjust them to no avail and finally ripped them off in disgust after about 600 meters.
I went through 800 @ 13.26 and through 1500 @ 25.45 I will not be doing that again this year!
