In 50 minutes? That is fantastic! We have swimmers in our pool who can swim a mile in approximately 20 minutes and others who swim it in an hour. Most of us are somewhere in between. </p> <p><br /> By the way, I don't do flip turns on a regular basis. There are people who swim in the fastest lanes in our pool who don't do flip turns either. I've been to enough Masters Swim meets to know there are plenty of people who don't do flip turns either.  I look forward to hearing about your progress.</p> You are a beginner and already you can swim a mile?!

I am definitely a beginner (it takes me 50 minutes to swim a mile and I can't do flip turns), but I am looking for resources to learn more about swimming and the sport. Thanks for the blog and for being supportive of newbies (even older ones). :) I have never been a swimmer, but recently I started to try to swim.

I applaud anyone who decides to get into the pool (or open water) and give it a go on any level - no matter their time!

It takes me about an hour, so the author of the post would probably laugh at how slow I am. @MST I dunno about "super-fit".  I'm certainly not, and I swam a mile this morning.  Being able to swim distances is a lot more about form and practice than any godlike degree of fitness.  (I don't swim a 1650, but an 1800).

More power to anyone that can! You need to be super fit to swim that far, while I enjoy swimming I’m more a social swimmer right now so doubt I could swim a mile. More power to anyone that can!

Someone out there is reading the blog - cool! Thanks so much for the kind words. Two of my favorite things to do are swim and take pictures. When I have the opportunity to combine these two loves, well, I'm in heaven. Hope to see you in the pool! Whoa! Someone out there is reading the blog – cool! Thanks so much for the kind words.

How long does it take your "average" swimmer to do a mile? I'm worse than an average swimmer, but thinking about trying that mile swim next year...maybe..! Here’s a question for you!
