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?

    Lefty- I think in cycling and in running, 5K is either 2.7 or 3.2 miles. I can never remember. Definitely do-able in 48 minutes. :twocents: Read the article. It is very clear he is talking about a 5,000 swim (he mentions breaking it up into 10x 500's) The only question is meters or yards.
