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
Depends upon the breastroker, the pool or body of water where they swim the mile, and the percent effort they're expending.
I bet the best male breastrokers, shaved and tapered could swim a mile, 1725 yards in a 25 yard pool holding under 1:05's probably faster than 18:40, they'd be considerably slower in a 50 meter pool where 1 mile is 1,609.344 meters, my guess is the best could hold 1:16's probably 20:40, They'd be a lot slower if they did it straight in open water with no turns.
