Haven't seen any swimming threads lately, so why not?
I started since i was 9, took a 10 year break and went back at it again.
Post your times, favorite strokes, drills/exercises, etc..
This summer I was bored at the beach so I started swimming. My max distance was 4km(2x2km with a break). I didn't measure my time when I got fit, but when I first tried swimming for longer distances it took me 35min for 1.5km.
I think I could go way under 30min at the end of the summer(plus if I wore Speedos I would be like a boat, but I am uncomfortable in those :P).
Edit: Oh yea, competitive... there is a 2 km swimming competition held in the nearby town. I would like to take part in it next summer.
Just returned from club here's what i did:
800m I.M.
5x600m free w/pull buoy
50m fly sprint (39.4s)
50m free sprint (37.2s)
I only really know my PB for 50 free (28-27 ish seconds), but I keep somehow winning 50 back, so it must be pretty decent.
Favorite Events:
100m Back: 1:08 ~
50m Free:28 s
50m Fly:33 s ~

I just swim for fitness now, although I'd like to do it competitively some day. I do around 2,500 yards in <45 mins on a good day.
I haven't swam professionally for a while.
Makes me wish i could start it up again
What's holding you back?
