What is the biggest speed difference that can be made up by drafting? In other words, if I am say a 1:40/100 swimmer, can I stay with someone swimming a 1:20/100 pace in their draft?
I'm not an expert on the matter, but to me, :20 seconds per 100 (meters?) seems a bit much. Since this is the Open Water forum...just some ballpark math indicates a 5k ~16:00 minutes faster with drafting. I dunno....
