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).

Mr. Q, a couple years back, I did 100 on 1:20 for the whole practice, and did indeed finish a 4500 yards. You might try doing an actual nonstop hour swim. It's different than you might imagine, and extrapolating from "it's easy to hold 100s on 1:20" to doing this for an uninterrupted hour might prove different than you think. Maybe you will pick up the speed; maybe you will hold it steady; and maybe you will tire out. But it's a different experience than you think it will be if you've never done it.
Hey Jim, From what ddl wrote, I thought he was more interested in an hour of training, not an hour time trial. I am hoping ddl will stop by after his festivities and give us a little more detail on what he is trying to get from this information, so maybe we can provide what he is actually looking for.
I think our team might actually be putting together a 1 hour postal for the first time this year. I will let you know if I manage to break 1:20 pace.
