How long does it take to swim 1 mile of breastroke?
Former Member
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 mile is 5,280 feet or 1,760 yards
That is 70.40 lengths of a 25 yard pool, or 35.2 50s or 17.6 100's
1 foot = 0.3048 meters so
5,280 x 0.3048 = 1,609.34
That's a lot of breastroke.
It would be much easier in a 25 yard pool than it would in a 50 meter pool or even worse, open water.
More pushoffs and pullouts would be better for me and most people.
I recommend a relaxed sustainable pace with lots gliding between strokes.
I think I could hold around 1:25 to 1:30 per 100 yards and 1:40 to 1:45 meters.
