Then things picked up again and in July I managed to post an all time high of 32.9 miles. October through December were pretty slow months starting with a week off for Amanda and Ben&#8217;s wedding, then I got sick in November, and finally the holidays in December.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to keeping track of yards swam I also kept track of hours in the pool. I swam for a total of 112.5 hours or 4.69 days. Holy cow that&#8217;s a lot of hours in the pool. If your doing that math that works out my average swimming speed of 2.14 miles per hour.<\/p>\n<p>The other thing I kept track of was the break out of swim vs kick, vs pull.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mceachernfamily.com\/blog\/images\/2010\/swimkickpull.gif\" alt=\"Swim, Kick, Pull, Breakout\" \/><\/div>\n<p>Obviously the swim is going make up the majority of the yards but I was surprised by the 46,000 yards kick.
