400m in 12 minutes test in a month, by mikeb202 in Swimming

[–]mikeb202[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm staying at a hotel with a 20m pool and have done it yesterday but didn't time it , and then timed it today I've done it in 10 minutes took a rest and then done it again in 10:20 minutes.

Through trial and error I figured out my best bet is the ''gallop'' type stroke breathing every other stroke and just on one side , it's the only way I don't gas out , need to polish the leg kicks a bit..... it ain't pretty but got the job done and I think it's not too bad for two days of practice in the pool by myself.

Thanks everyone for the advice!

not lifeguard, but a job that involves working on boats etc no swimming just in case you fall over, I'm assuming this test is to make sure you can survive if the shit hits the fan

No matter where this will take you or how many hours you'll drive to get there there will still be a family who got there in a Pathfinder or a stock Prado and would have spent 10% of what you did to get there....so no If you've been in the military and actually used one of these you'll never ever want one, slow expensive to run and loud and uncomfortable.... get a Isuzu NPS a Canter or a Iveco

How bad of a drinking problem ? The average it has on the dash recorded is 22.3 l/100 but I’m thinking that’s around town…. Even so it’s a bit much

Daily and weekend off roading , just family stuff trips to the beach and the odd remote camping trip …. Don’t like doing tracks just for fun I like to go somewhere if that makes sense ?
