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 was merely pointing out that up til then I had not yet said anything about my skills, so don't assume I'm a bitter "looser".
The reason my struggles are funny is that when I'm in shape, I'm the fastest, hardest working freestyler at either of the clubs I train with. It really is entertaining to see someone I lap in a 300 during practice crush me by 11 seconds/100 in a different stroke.
And I get a kick out of this too! I'm a breaststroker and I used to swim with a friend who was NOT.
He is 6 years younger than me, male, and over a foot taller than me! He has previous competitive swimming experience, I do not. We used to always race our last lap (which the lifeguard would give him grief for because of his obvious advantage).. we had fun trying to figure out just how much of a lead he'd have to give me in order for me to win a 50 free race against him.. but I always kicked his butt when I could talk him into racing *** instead. :rofl:
