Distance swimming
Discussion
I've been swimming for a while (had to give up running) and have built up to doing 2500m once a week. That takes me about 52-54 mins, so I estimate that 5k will take me about 2 hours if it goes well, probably closer to 2:15 in reality
It will be in the pool not open water, so on the plus side it won't be too choppy, on the negative side I'll have to turn 200 times!
I don't think my technique is that great to be honest. I can only do 1000m in just under 20 mins flat out. I'll have to look into a lesson/coach, the pool has loads of kids swimming lessons and runs a competitive club but I'm nowhere near good enough to join that.
