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).

    My peak here was 4996 yards (rounded off to 4995!) at age 51, What a pity. 4-5 yards more and you could sing "5001 at 51" :D But peaking at 50 must give hope to a lot of folks here... Jim started swimming a few minutes before conception Don't we all do? :cool: :D
