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?

    Is this for long course, Chris? What about short course, or heck, even the 1650? One of the guys in that list, Chris Krupiarz, was a teammate and friend of mine in age group swimming! Hey Kirk, long time no see! :) My sister stumbled across this thread and let me know. I see later that Chris clarified that it was LCM, but I really think it was a SCY 1650 time at UMBC. My memory may be foggy, but I really don't recall doing any long course 1500s during that time. That's back when Teresa and I were training for Chesapeake Bay Swim in case you were wondering what the heck I was doing trying to be a distance swimmer. ;) Chris Krupiarz
