    3:00 on the 200 free for me.

    I'm not even close to attempting the fly set. I occasionally try to fly, but I look like I'm drowning! :)

    Nice job on the 200!!! and no worries on the fly - you can do free if you want, so long as you're going hard and getting just a little rest :)

    I'm concentrating on distance endurance at the moment. I did 5k in 95 minutes last week. I'm going for 8k Friday anything under 3 hours will be fab. Xxx

    are we talking meter or yard?

    either one!! we'll likely have people swimming in 25 yard, 25 meter, and 50 meter pools since we're from all over. no need to post times if you don't want to - I find, though, that I push a bit harder if I have to tell people what I went :)

    I'm new here but will be in the pool tomorrow and let you know my 200 Yard time. I'm guessing it will be around 3:10 but we'll see.

    You guys are amazing! I thought 9 minutes for my 400 was great but now I wonder,,, if 200 is half of 400 then half of 9 minutes is 4.5 minutes! not bad for someone who hasn't done laps in about 30 years! :blushing:

    Of course with my old shoulder injury, I rather be doing endurance swim,, in which I can do 60 minutes without stopping...

    I wasn't able to swim this week due to family emergencies but I'll make up this challenge next week.

    Did the 200 yard timed swim in 2:59. Not in any shape to even consider the fly challenge as written. Next time I will add 4 x 25yd fly set into workout. Maybe down the road I can do 16 but I have not swam butterfly in 30+ years. Did 2500 yards today.

    I am FINALLY joining the Y today, and will get this challenge in this week! I haven't been in the pool for over 6 months, so it could be ugly!
