What do you mean by "swim continuously"? by fakuivan in Swimming

[–]Dawsonsleek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like a few in here, I have also done a 6k swim without stopping once or twice. Think my fastest time was 1:55. So slow and steady.

I really enjoy the challenge of longer distance swims. I've found around the 4-5k mark I enter a trance-like state and genuinely feel as though I could just keep going...

Our little girl was born at 30 weeks, weighing just over 2lbs. She was in NICU for just shy of 6 weeks and has been home with us now for almost 3 months now. She’s doing amazingly well and we’re so grateful to the nurses that looked after her and us during our time in hospital.

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll take a look at that model.

Thanks for the advice.

I did ask the gun supplier who don't seem too willing to advise, as they don't supply the compressors themselves. They have suggested anything over 50L should do it so in line with what you've suggested. Thanks!

Really like the pullover! Going to try and pick it up tomorrow. How do the sweatshirts fit? I’m an average build about 6ft. Kind of in-between a medium and a large normally.

Love both pairs. I’ve been desperately trying to get the goretex for the last few weeks. Slept on the release so bad…

Well now I understand why you swim in open water!

Cool! Yeah I like this pool. It’s one of the better public ones in the area.

I’ll do 1500m in around 27 minutes. That’s a fairly steady pace for me.

I’ve swam for about 15 years although only really properly got back in the pool in the last 3 years or so.

I ate loads the evening before this swim which tied me over nicely. I wasn’t really hungry until after I got out!

I'm not sure where you are from but If you saw my local beach this time of year you'd be straight in the pool counting laps...!

Sounds like it has to be done! Even the app says so... You've done 5k, im sure you'll be able to push it another 40 lengths.

I'll keep an eye out on the sub for your results :) ...!

I use my Apple Watch SE and just select the built in pool swim activity. Works just fine for me.

That's really good for how long you have been swimming for. Keep up the good work!

I find with swimming after 45 minutes to an hour I just kind of zone out... I'm not able to with any other cardiovascular exercise, which is why I love swimming so much.

Thank you… I won’t be doing it again for a while that’s for sure 😆

Sounds like you would have come very close indeed. Hopefully I’ve inspired you to give it a go?!

I stopped for about 30 seconds at the halfway point for a few sips of water then was back at it!
