So after proving to myself earlier this week that I can maintain a quicker pace, I swam a mile today in 45:25 (45 minutes and 25 seconds)! My goal was 48 minutes (1:30 per lap) and my previous best was 48:25. Hard to believe I shaved 3 minutes off my best time but I was careful about counting laps so I'm confident the time is correct.
Being relatively new to swimming (about 8 months) and only recently reaching a mile in distance, I've carefully paced myself when swimming to ensure I could make my distance goal. Now that I know I can do the distance, I've been pushing myself to swim faster; also, my stoke efficiency is improving. Hopefully I can keep this up:)
