I’m a sprinter, but I swam a solid 5 miles today with just my thoughts and some warm-up and warm-down. I swam about 5/8 freestyle and 3/8 backstroke

I can swim at that pace… with fins on.

What are your personal bests for the 50/100?

A few decades ago, mine were in the high 21s and 47s, but I couldn’t swim more than a mile at your pace. Great job, man!

You call yourself a sprinter? You should consider training for the 200! Seriously!

Kudos for maintaining that pace for so long. What’s your personal best for 100 yards / 100m? I’m guessing you’ve been a competitive swimmer for a while.

Impressive!
