How often do you swim long distance non-stop, say 1500m or more? How often is good? I try to plan for myself :)
(Also, when doing that, do you swim only freestyle or sometimes change to different strokes?)

Your question is about pool swimming or swimming?:fish2:
Good question, why not vote swimming, and tell us details if it makes difference either way? I would love to know both.:)
Most people I see at my pool just swim back and forth at the same pace for a certain period of time. They jump in, don't warm up, swim back and forth and leave. How boring is that:yawn:
That's also what I observed. The point is that many of them appear not to have good swimming forms, and it seems to take them 30-40 strokes across 25m.
The longer distances are at an easier pace, and I try and work on a number of things.
Swimming-related or not? ;)
I'm surprised to know most of you don't do nonstop long distance often. (But didn't many say they had various ways to make it not boring, like MP3?) Does that mean you don't have do practice that in the pool in order to swim long distance in open water, since I believe some of you do OW? Just the 400m, 800m practice can help you swim far in OW?
