Hi, all. I'm interested to know: How long distance can you swim in 1 hour, comfortably, with or without short rests? (By "comfortably" I mean it's not like you are racing badly. So I think it's not like the postal swim.) It doesn't matter whether it's in a pool or in open water (obviously in OW you can't rest).

ddl,
I can hold 1:20s comfortably for long periods of time, so all freestyle for an hour, I would be able to do 4500 yards.
But a normal workout, with kick, drill and stroke, I am completing about 3200 yards in about 50 minutes. That is a 1:33+ average pace, but my freestyle will be 1:20s or faster, my kick at 2:00, my stroke at 1:40, etc.
What is your objective? Maybe people can give you better information if we know what you want to learn from it.
