Well it was 7 days and 7 nights and there is some debate as to whether it was a rowing or a swimming race Beowulf had with Breca.
Its all to do with Translation the word "sund" can be interupted as swin but the word ""rowan" is not interpreted as swim in anyother Anglo Saxon poetry and that is the word used in Beowulf.
Breca basicaly beats Beowulf in the race and later while dining Beowulf recounts the story and explains how he had to stop to defeat multiple sea monsters during the race.
Grendel was meant to be from a Giant race that had survived the great flood and Grendels mother was of the same race although smaller than her son.
Both were impervious to normal swords and it took a sword forged by the Giants themselves to cut them and even then their blood is hot enough to melt the metal of even that blade.
The dragon was pretty big, I would assume the sea monsters were too, difficult to say exactly how large from Anglo Saxon poetry really.
