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?
We need to get more facts about his situation and the actual swim,
like:
scm or lcm,
how old was he?
Based on other info he was born probably in 1969. He says he was 21 when he did that swim.
The guy is certainly a great athlete. He was 11th in the Hawaii Ironman in 1994 and won Ironman Canada one year. In Hawaii he was 15th coming out of the water with a time of 51:44. That's a pace of just over 20 minutes for 1500 meters.
