Then again, a lot of people make their IM swim (4200 yards) in around 1 hour.
3000 yds in 52 minutes--not bad at all! Certainly faster than I swim (my sort of "natural" pace is 500 yards in 10 minutes for freestyle, so that would bring me to an hour for that workout assuming I didn't switch up the strokes at all). I haven't done any swimming in a while so I'm sure I'd be slow now.
