I swam 1200m in 30 minutes and I did not die.
I am mediocre at best.
I feel I should point out that I’ve been competing in triathlons for four years now. I’ve swum from Alcatraz three times (and have a fourth crossing on the way in May), Treasure Island once, and umpteen times in various lakes rivers and other weird bodies of water. I typically hit the pool at least two or three times a week, have paid for professional coaching, and have devoted countless hours to reading and watching YouTube videos on how to improve my form.
All of which is to say, I can’t begin to swim 1200 meters in 30 minutes.
Nice job, Lindsay.
