I do a lot of swimming – it’s good cross training for running and biking. I’ve been swimming on a regular basis since 1993, but I really didn’t start tracking my distance until 2002. The table below is a summary of my yearly results. I usually log the results in yards, converting from meters as necessary. When I do the conversion to miles, I use the conversion factor of 1800 yards = 1 mile. The slightly longer mile covers the errors in the meters to yards conversion, plus it makes the arithmetic easier.
