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

    a 35min mile in breaststroke sounds pretty good to me. my knees are hurting just thinking about it. as for the fly comments... Tom Boettcher is a wimp! Vicki Keith "Vicki came out of swimming retirement, and spent 63 hours and 40 minutes in Lake Ontario, completing 80.2 kilometres butterfly" (Actually Tom is pretty cool. His web article "Learning to Fly" helped me a lot on my quest to learn fly. In terms of both technique and inspiration.)
