Hello All,
I have been swimming for about 3 weeks now. I am getting better. I was listening in the gym to two guys talk about their 100 times. I thought I was getting better...I never swam for fun. I am a runner and cyclist, so I do not know what are good times or bad. I wear baggy trunks and cannot do the flip turn...So I assume my times will be slower, but how much slower? I can do a 50 (25m pool) in 48 seconds. My 100 is 1:50. How bad am I? I think I swam 800 in 18:30 the other day. How much time will I gain in open water? With out turns and stuff.
Why do swimmers use hand padles?
