If I understand correctly... The record is 470 miles in 10 days?

So that's an average pace of 1:43 / 100y or 1:52 / 100m.

It would be nice if there were an explanation of theblagistics somewhere. How does this work? I see that they have two swimmers in the water now, and the schedule always seems to have two swimmers. Why?

I also see that Rob and sven alternate back and forth between swimmer 1 and 2 with no intervening gaps. On paper that looks weird, but I assume there's a reason.

Can someone with experience with this record elaborate on how this works?

Yes, so Sven and I pretty much stuck to the schedule of 75 min (Rob), 75 min (Sven), then 60, 60, 45, 45, 30, 30 then the next two swimmers start their 7 hour shift.
