    @@sarahferguson6946 thanks for your reply, i feel that marathon swimmer can swim very soft, smooth also slow cadence but the speed also not slow in the sea, there must be some different skill set between pool and open water, i have heard alot from only swimmer advance in 2-4k, but never heard from people swim 15-20k plus talk about it while if i see the time and swim form, you guys are much more efficient

    @@Gary-iz8re hi Gary- yes there is a difference between pool and ocean swimming and longer vs shorter swims- efficiency is key. long smooth strokes trying to maximise distance per stroke
