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

    Whatever makes you feel good. My feelings aren't "hurt" but I do get annoyed at people who feel the need to relentlessly "heckle" in order to make themselves feel superior. You should know that intent is, for the most part, indiscernible over the internet. Whether your statements were "good natured" or "clearly not serious" is anything but obvious. Like I said, whatever floats your boat, I guess. I just can't imagine wasting my time on 3 or 4 posts that "good naturedly" heckle backstrokers just for kicks. :2cents: It doesn't make me feel superior at all. I'm sorry you are sensitive enough to be annoyed. It doesn't bother me at all to be bad at breaststroke - so bad its a big joke around here. I even raced 2 400 IMs this year for the sole purpose of entertaining my teammates. They heckled me while I struggled through the third leg. One of my buddies was in the next lane on a LCM 400 IM. He's 10 years older than I am, was 10 seconds behind me after the back and passed me by 1 second before the free. It was great fun for others to watch.
