Tell me the truth: 500 yards, 30 minutes...

[katluvr]

Were the lanes set up the LONG way (length) of pool and the the "width" of the pool? Then it is 50 meters (one length)--as that is how most competetion pools are set up.

I did my first tri...my swim time was almost 15 minutes for 1/4 mile.
I know when I timed myself in the pool I did 400 yds in a little over 13 min.
I am slow. But steady. And thus room for improvement!

Good question. There were ten lanes, so it's a wide pool, too. I'll ask when I go back tomorrow.

Thanks for the encouragment, everyone. I do have room for improvement. Indeed.
