I like swimming the longer distance. Makes it seem more like an open water swim. Not exactly, but it’s a little bit more like it since I don’t get to push off a wall as often.

Ok! So I measured the pool today and the math works out to 13 laps for 1,000 meters. That is, the ? area above is about 13.46 meters, making one length about 38.46 meters, or one lap about 76.92 meters, but I think that’s close enough to say it’s 77 meters per lap. Anyway, 13 laps is 1,000 meters is my story, and I’m sticking to it.

So I swam it today and figured out that my “t-pace” (the fastest pace at which you can swim 1,000 meters without stopping) is about 2:17. Of course that was after a 35 minute bike ride and virtually no breakfast, even though it’s about 10 am, so I wasn’t doing this under exactly optimal conditions. But it’s probably close enough for now.

dude. why don’t you just swim the 25 meters? you all are putting way too much work into this.
your t-pace 1 year ago for 100 meters was 1:58 and for 300 meters was 5:58. i had that written down forever somewhere.

At the same zoom find another building which you know the real dimensions for( or a car which you can accurately guess) and use that as a reference. multiply that reference length by how many times that distance exists in the pool.
