What's your mile time?

Hey everyone! I'm doing a little statistical poll that compares one's average running mile time to their average swimming mile time. (I realize that is harder...because when we swim a mile straight--generally for us as competitive swimmers we are swimming it in a race and going for pbs...but what I am looking for is more like if you were to swim consecutively for an hour...how many miles would you get in swimming at a nice constant pace that you could withhold for a longer period of time.) And then I would like to compare the level of fitness for your age that those respective would put you at...mostly I am interested in simply seeing the correlation between the two sports, because almost anyone would agree that cross-training is a positive aspect of your swimming regime. My Data: Age: 22 Gender: Female Background: Swimming: competitive swimmer since 4th grade (swam in college all 4 years) Running: no competitive history really (just a few seasons of high school track) like to run...as a 7th grader ran a 6:23.04 mile in the presidential fitness challenge...haven't hit that mark again haha. Swimming: 19:30minutes at a leisurely pace...I've never swam the mile in a meet. Running: 7:40ish at the moment (hoping to bring that down to at least 6:50 over the summer)

    I know for a fact that a mile is a mile, in the USA. In the USA it is 1760 yards not 1650 yards. When they compete in running the event a quarter mile is a 440. The mile run in the USA is 1760 yards not 1650 yards. Is the Salvation Army an army??? I know they supplied tea and coffee to the troops in the Second World War. Yes, and people on horses is not an army but they call it that anyway. Each country does their own thing.
