I'm 56 years old, swimming three times a week. The distance is one mile in 33 minutes. I feel I should be swimming faster. Is 33 min. mile slow for my age, need some feedback.:confused:

We should remember that 1 mile is 1760 yards not 1650yards.
To swim 1 mile here is what you have to average per 100
20 min - 1:08
22 min - 1:15
24 min - 1:21
27 min - 1:32
On another thread someone mentioned swimming in a pool you rest on your turns, it is easier than swimming a mile of openwater swimming. I do not believe that you must make your turns count and use great effort in the turns.
