500m Swim TT

The 500m swim TT is a personal little fitness test I like to spring upon myself every once in a while. 500 meters is 20 lengths of a 25-meter pool. (Note that prior to 2006, most of the times were established at Champagne Bath pool in Ottawa which is a 25yd pool - 500m is approximately 22 lengths - of course, there's a slight performance boost with the extra flip turns).
