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?

  • As for sighting. Hmmm, not sure what possible advnatage you get from looking left and right. How about sighting other competitors? I don't want someone to sneak by me on the left because I'm always breathing to the right and didn't see him/her. I don't think bilateral breathing is important for OW swimmers, but the ability to breathe comfortably to both sides is.
