ChrisHB Feb 2021 12:07pm, 13 Feb 2021 20,594 posts	0 ChrisHB The Fetch database contains 168 million miles of running, 85 million miles of cycling and 41 million miles of swimming! (from a recent email). That's an awful lot of swimming.

GregP Feb 2021 12:24pm, 13 Feb 2021 125,098 posts	0 GregP AH! This borders on a Smell in-joke. You'd be amazed how many people log 40 lengths of their local pool as 400 miles rather than 400 metres. It adds up. And makes a mockery of the swim league. You'll be up there near the top then someone logs a 1,500 mile swim and everyone gives up while Fetch tries to sort it out.
