I am hoping to do my first open water swim this summer, its a one mile swim. I was looking at the past results of the event online and I am confused by some of the times. The winning time was 15:30, that is moving pretty good. However there was a 67 year old man who finished it in just over 20 minutes (kudos to him). And 75% of the people who swam it did it under 25 minutes and this includes a lot of 50-60 year olds. Is it possible the course really isnt a mile? Or do I need to ramp up my training?
There was a current and they swam with the current, 98% chance that is the answer, particularly since the win and slowest times were so close together.
Is this by chance one of the now york city swims in the Hudson?
Happened to me my first year, I figured I would be the last person across.
I wasn't by a long shot.
no this was a swim on the jersey shore. i am pretty sure it was an ocean swim.
