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

  • Help me with my memory. Back in the 1970s we did/could not submerge our heads totally while doing ***. Or, was that just the style back then and submersion was totally fine? I am pretty sure you could not duck your head under the water. What gets me about the stroke is the great diversity of styles you see even in the elite swimmers, more than any ather stroke in my opinion. Truly the stroke for non-conformists, I guess. I simply cannot imagine the circumstances under which I would willingly swim a mile breastroke. I would sooner watch a Twilight movie.
