    I find that I can swim 26 lengths (800 mtr) in 26mins but have levelled out and don't move faster. Yours is a good way to increase as its 6 extra lengths in four mins. I'll have to get a shift on.

    30 meter pool? That is a bizarre length

    I haven't kept track, but thanks for the idea of a goal for myself. I have to up my time in the pool, I signed up for a 1.2 mile open water swim in August. If it was a pool, no problem...open water scares me.

    I did an open water swim last Friday and I'm so congested that I might miss out on my swims this week:( Oh well. I'm signed up for an open water swim in August too! followed by a bike and run! Woohoo!

    I usually do an open water swim triathlon in August, but the swim is my favorite part and the shortest...so I thought I would try to do a long swim instead. Hopefully I don't regret it.

    Sorry, my tri is in Augusta...lol. I am so nervous about it I saw (and typed) August but thought it was Augusta.
    I'm up to 22.53 miles now. I'm moving up to 3 swims a week this week so maybe my totals will get better.

    have you seen the ads for ISOman? basically its a triathlon where all the legs should take roughly the same amount of time - they are trying to bring to the US next year

    its a 7mile swim, 90mile bike and marathon (I'd have to double check distances) - one of the prizes is to the person who had the most equal for each of the three legs

    7 mile swim would be killer :o (well so would the rest of it, but that is a long swim)

    I am fairly certain that a 7 mile swim would take me as long as the bike ride and marathon combined, if not longer. And I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to get on a bike after that either!

    one of the race awards is who gets the closest similar time in all 3 legs (approx. 5hours)
