Forgive me.
I tried to find a thread where I could ask this seemingly silly question, but I couldn't find one.
I also have trouble finding the answer elsewhere.
Obviously this is not an official FINA event. But it does seem to be a popular event. I've seen swim-clubs doing local charity/fundraiser type things around the 3000m swim.
I think I will try one soon. Obviously I won't attack the WR/world best, but maybe I can emulate my other distance percentile-levels.
I'm guessing the WR is around 30min SC? 31min LC?
Thanks in advance if anyone has info on this strange request.
I'm looking at pace per 50m (SC) for WR 400m-800m-1500m, and I'm assuming, based on how the paces change, that 3000m could be at 29.0sec per 50m or faster.
(400m - 26.5sec, 800m - 27.7sec, 1500m - 28.3sec)
So my rethink is: Somebody out there could do a 29:00 3000m in a 25m pool.
