Kory Broere's Path to the English Channel

Training

I have compiled my training sessions into charts that will show you my progression and milestones. All statistics are for breaststroke. I have chosen to swim breaststroke across the channel because that is my strongest stroke and the crossing record is obtainable.

The default chart shows total distance for each session.

The charts are a breakdown of how many minutes it takes to swim a specific distance.

The charts linked below are listed by total distance and grouped by training session. If I swam 4 miles in the session then it will be listed in the Minutes to swim 4 miles (6,400 meters) chart.

Minutes to swim 4 miles
I have swam this distance 15 times.

Suit type definitions are available on the Gear page
