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?
Sub 19 would have easily been a top 10 swim in 1990 in the 1500M (when the swim feat was accomplished) Hmmm, I wish the top 10 went back that far so we could see exactly what this guy did.
I'm wondering if it's a case of "the older I get, the faster I was." Remember he said he swam 1500 meters in "less than half the time" he did (36:00) a year before, so that means he went under 18:00. It's possible, but I'm definitely skeptical. I looked at the USMS archive site and a search for his last name (Veylupek) didn't come up with any matches.
