    Thanks, after watching this video, I went a 17.62!!! Footage somehow got corrupted though, you just gotta believe me 🤔

      I believe you because my swim made yours look easy. I went 17.61 at the end of practice today, unshaven, drag suit on, no goggles, and the pool was actually made of jelly to slow me down more.

      Yeah after watching this and reading your comment, i got a new kind of motivation. I just swam a 17.61 fully clothed. The lifeguards didn't really like me much but they were nonetheless impressed!

    I am 67 yer old man, I do what you use to be call Australian crawl, basically means just use you arms, and let you legs trail behind, and don’t I breath at all, until I finished so far I have managed 43 meters in 18 seconds.

    Kyle, thank you so much for the video! I found it to be very helpful and informative. Bjorn mentioned using swim socks on his hands to keep up the length of his stroke at the 11min mark. What socks is he using and size? I could only find Power Bags which is just a mesh bag. Thank you!
