Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Not quite as significant as Pix's great improvements, but this morning I managed to finish off my set with a sub-minute 66yd/60m (the pool I go to is 30m). As a few of you will know, I've struggled to regain swimming form after illness and to be able to knock off 1200m and finish with a 57sec final two lengths is quite a milestone for me. Like Pix, I will keep on working at it :-)

I was just looking at my St**va feed and it occurs to me that in swimming all things are relative. I follow a guy named Richard Anderson, he's [I suppose] an elite triathlete and has won a few decent races, coincidentally he has the FKT on the Frog Graham Round. Nice guy .... and what a flipping swimmer, his session this morning was 3,281 yds at an average of 1:17.

I don't understand how that is even possible, he must have an outboard motor attached.

We are currently swimming at about the same pace NE. I am limited by technique and shoulder flexibility at around 1:40/100 when fit and on form

Incidentally Covid killed off my FGR plans in 2020 and I have no plans to go back until at least next year

That’s a very decent pace to be able to keep up for 2 miles.

I'm pleased to hear you're even considering having a crack at the FGR, are you on the Facebook group? Please do get in touch if I can be of any help at all.

Yes, I am on the FB group. Will keep you in mind when I get round to firming up plans - living in the SW I didnt think it wise during covid to travel for a risky-ish activity

Thank you for that. I had a few uncomfortable discussions with the Asst Chief Constable of Cumbria over that period because of people transgressing lockdown rules and attempting the FGR, I could have done without it if I'm honest.
