Ha, I wish I could monitor my time and MAKE SURE that I swim at a 30 second/25 yards pace, but I can't. Today i started by swimming 250 at a 6 minute and change pace (breaststroke) but each set of 250 got longer each time. I think it took me 26 minutes to do 1000 and then flip turns haven't really shaved any time for me for freestyle yet. All in good time!
