I know there's no definite answer to this, but what roughly is a good time to do 1500m of crawl in a 25m pool (i.e., 60 lengths)? As some sort of comparison, you could say that doing a century on a bike at around 18mph is good.
I've started swimming more recently and am trying to improve my technique. I'm really fit on a bike, but I don't seem to be able to swim particularly fast at the moment and would like to have something to aim for.
I've watched a few short technique videos and am trying to put them into practice. To add to those, does anyone have any real generic crawl tips that may help?
