I've been lifting weights + running for a few years and have been swimming on and off for a couple of years. Last season I ramped up my swimming slightly to maybe 2000 meters 3 times per week. I'm gonna try a swimrun in about a month and have tried to increase my swimming to 4 times per week during the summer. I can do a 5k run in 20 mins if I max it so I think the running is fine but I don't know about my swimming.
Best 100 meters time 1:20 (was few months ago, maybe I could increase it to 1:15 by now)
I get really tired by it but I can do 3 intervalls of 100 meters at 1:30. With 1:30 rest.
Longest crawl 1k (was really hard) 19 minutes
I have tried to make a 400 meter swim in 7 minutes twice in the last week but had bad days both times and got like 7:30.
I hope I am considered an intermediate swimmer at this but I'm not sure?

I live in Sweden so I think it should be meters, sometimes my shorter distance times varies from pool from pool but the long distance times are the same. I have a good group that I'm gonna swim with in the autumn and winter so gonna stick with that for the forseeable future.
I don't know exactly what a pool event is but in the forseeable I will probably try to repeat the swimrun or try some open water swim race.
I'll do Vidösternsimmet next year, are you going to do that? Also do you do Lostwater Race as well?
