Yesterday I was lacking serious motivation and forgot to write down my workout. So I did what I wanted to do-which was see how fast I could swim a mile. I have been working a lot on my pull lately and not resorting to the strength in my legs when I start to get tired. The rules were that I had to stay relaxed, for me this means breathing on the 4 and keeping it that way.<br><br>
Well, I did it.<br><br>
1 mile= 35:56<br><br>
I know this isn't much compared to the fishies in the group, but I am pretty darn pleased with myself. And so is my coach! <img alt="banana.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/banana.gif">

Alicia - Woohooo!! Way to go! Keep up the great work! OW swim season will be here soon!!!

how many laps is a mile?

 

[LeftRightRepeat]

Depends on the pool. A mile is 5,280 feet or 1760 yards.<br><br>
In a 25y pool, 36 laps is 1,800 yards - and that's generally referred to as a mile.

That's a great time, FishyGirl!!

Thank you.... 36 laps in 35 minutes sounds pretty darn good! I am going to swim a mile next week... Maybe we should start a weekly mile thread where we can swim a mile and post our time and then the next week do it again, etc. You know, to track each others' improvement! I have never swam, swum, swimmed a mile without stopping. This should be fun!

I'd take that too in a heartbeat! Congrats Alicia!

 

[Dougie Fresh]

Alicia, you're right, you are not a fishie. In my book that makes you a dolphin! Congrats!

 

[NBjunkie]

Congrats!! It's always good to have a break through! <img alt="banana.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/banana.gif"><br><br><br><br>
LRR: Seriously its only 36 laps!! Man, my math was waaaaay off. Why, I never calculated it I don't know. I was under the impression that 76 laps was a mile, and was getting darn depressed that my mile times were like 1hr!!
