+1 to most of what he said... but a bit wider. FOP can be even faster like 23 (maybe even lower?) And back of the pack often has 1hr 10 min for it.

It depends so much on the course, even from year to year. The swim is obviously the least consistently marked course of the three disciplines. In my experience, it generally ranges from 24:00 (FOP) - 1:10:00 (BOP), depending on the course. Even the same course from year to year can vary, unless they have buoy cables that they always anchor the buoys to. I swam in one race where the buoys were literally blowing around the lake on their tethers, that made for an interesting distance, LOL.

Anybody know general times for front of pack, MOP, and BOP for a typical 70.3 swim for men?
