I was just reading this blog:chuckiev.blogspot.com/.../swimming-thoughts-galore.html This guy claims that he never swam before in his life. At first it took him 36 minutes to swim 1500 meters. After only one year he could swim that in LESS than half the time. After 17 years of swimming I can't swim 1500 meters in less than 18 minutes. Either I'm doing something wrong or that guy is full of..... Is it possible to get that fast THAT FAST?

  • Maybe his mother had a one night stand with an Australian 1500 medalist! Once this guy started swimming, genetics kicked in, hardcore!!! ( I kid!) I went from a 19:25 LCM free in May 2009 to a 18:24 in Aug. 2009 but I really had to bust my hump and the Aug 1500 LCM free was tapered. 18 minutes in one year is pretty phenomenal.
