How do I keep track of how many KMs I've done?
- 5k Challenge (5,000 metres): You need to swim 200 lengths in total, which averages out to 50 lengths per week.
- 10k Challenge (10,000 metres): You need to swim 400 lengths in total, which averages out to 100 lengths per week.
- 15k Challenge (15,000 metres): You need to swim 600 lengths in total, which averages out to 150 lengths per week.
If you're swimming in the sea or a lake, it's a little trickier. You'll need a waterproof sports watch to track how far you swim. You can get these from around £20 online.
