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
I swam several 1650s in meets all breaststroke. I just thought of them as a workout. I only worked the turns and tried to keep the underwater strokes long. Drove the freestyle swimmers crazy as I could turn faster than they could and come up 2 yards ahead after the underwater. Then they would go by me as I was really loafing the breaststroke. Had bad shoulders at the time (still do).
I think my times were between 25 and 27 minutes.
