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

    All I saw was opinion,where are the facts of which you speak? I'll grant that BR takes a different type of flexibility than the other 3 strokes.It also doesn't penalize one for being shorter of stature.All athletic endevours have an optimal body type,that hardly makes those people"mutants." OK, "mutant" may be too colorful. The optimal characteristics for *** stroke are distinctly different from the rest of swimming and you don't have to be as tall. Hmmm. You are like football kickers. Little guys who are skilled at their specialty which has nothing to do with the skills needed for any other position. But dang it, you're needed for the medley relay.
