I've been training for my first open-water swim in a lap pool. The event is only one mile and I've been swimming it in about 29 minutes. Is that fast or not? I'm not entirely sure. Also, how does lap pool swimming translate to open water in terms of time. I know I need to take into consideration the sighting, temperature and not having walls to stop at/push off, but should I expect to swim it in 29 minutes? Or is that unrealistic?:cane:
62 actually is pretty cold. Wish I could give advice there, but as you may have seen in another thread, water temperature and its effects seem to be highly personalized. I swam the Big Shoulders 5K last year in 62 degrees, and I ended up liking that temperature. Others didn't like it so much.
