Swimming: 01/26/2011

I finally got to the pool last night.  I'm changing up my schedule a little bit to get in more of a routine.  I operate best when I have a routine.  Anyway, swimming is hard.  I'm basically starting back from square one since I've not been to the pool in so long.  I did 700 yards last night: 4X100, 4X50, and 4X25.  I almost quit in the middle of either the second or third 100, but I pushed myself to go on.  I'm just hoping this gets easier.  My goal right now is to be able to swim 1/2 mile non-stop by June.  I've tentatively scheduled a triathlon for the first weekend of June and the swim portion is 1/4 mile.  I figure if I can do 1/2 mile then 1/4 mile will be no problem and I'll hopefully have energy left over to do the bike and swim portions.  Now, I just need a bike.
