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.

Hmm. I didn't see anything 3000m related.
Anyway, I did similar math with LC. I think I am comfortable with 29:00 SC and 29:45 LC as "possible WRs".
I'm actually quite surprised that there's not a sub 30min 3000m on the internet somewhere. (Maybe I missed it.) Surely someone who is world class at 1500m might show some interest in this as a special event?
(And my 3000m SC goal for this year is 49:09!)
