1,000 yds in an hour

[JAMOH]

Was it efficient? Nope. Was it fast? Your average 7-year-old could do it faster. Have I swallowed enough pool water to meet my daily water intake goal? Yes.

But did I finally make it 1,000 yds in an hour? Yes. Yes I did. Last month, I struggled to swim more than 400 yds in an hour and had to stop every 25 yds. But recently, I was able to swim 100 yds almost continuously before stopping for a break.

My next goal? Swimming that far in 45 minutes and potentially learning how to swim freestyle for more than 10 yds at a time.

I was there earlier this year. Stay consistent. It will get easier.

Same. Consistency is key. Started barely doing 200 yards, now I’m at 1500 in an hour.

Today 1,000, tomorrow 1,050! You’re doing great!

Technique matters as much as conditioning. Focus on efficiency: slow is smooth, and smooth is fast. Experiment with your form for consistency and ease!"

[EVERLY]

Awesome! Do you mind sharing how often you’re swimming and for how long? Keep it up, I hope to be here one of these years…

Similar boat. Hit 1000m in 45 ish mins earlier this summer. Bringing it down slowly to 40 mins.

One lap at a time
