How long does it take to swim 1 mile of breastroke?
Former Member
I used to be a competitive swimmer. Now I am much older, I start swimming again just for fitness and I would like to set a goal for myself. My goal is to swim 1 mile of breastroke (breastroke is my specialty) daily; it takes me 35 minutes to swim 1 mile. My question is what is the average time to swimm 1 mile of breastroke? Thanks

When I was 23, I did a 3,000-meter breaststroke (long course) three times a year. My fastest was 36 minutes. That's 18 minutes for a mile. I didn't negative split. I held 1:18 per 100 for the middle 2500.
I don't recommend it unless you have a lengthy song catalogue in your head.
I swim *** in-between free sets to break things up a bit...I never time myself in *** for fear of self-pity. Shoot, I can't even swim a mile of free that fast right now! :rofl:
Jeff, you were an animal!
