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?

    So as not to derail this thread, GIYF (as is the search function here). Other details of the blogger's story may be implausible, but I don't find that aspect to be. When the founders of this forum established the framework their intention was to have threads be alive. Threads change direction to reflect the changing views and spin off topics that are inevitable when conversation progresses. And besides, pointing back to older threads as rule of law implies that innovation does not occur. Oh and I don't know what GIYF means. Tothe original question: is it possible to improve from 36:00 to sub 18:00 in one year in the 1500M, I think the answer is *maybe* but it probably has never been done before.
