20 lengths? 22 lengths? I lost track.
I'm definitely getting better at keeping my hips up and my head down. Another few swims and I'll start focusing on a better kick. I'm also no longer worried about being booted out of the medium-speed lane.
CRAWL STROKE people: I know breathing is done by rotating the head sideways. Do you also do anything to look forward, to see where you're going? Do you instead look only at your distance from the wall or from the lane boundary, so you don't veer? If the latter, is bumping into the end wall a surprise?

I *think* it might be possible to know even if I'm looking only sideways. A little musing at my desk gave me this gem which might not work at all in an actual pool. My idea: I can look into the distance and see the change in perspective -- the pool walls and the distant side of the pool will look different (have different angles visually) when I'm at one end versus in the middle.
Or I could be all wet. Come to think of it... ;-)
