It’s been awhile since I’ve posted an update on my swimming advances.  That’s probably because there hasn’t been that much improvement, sad to say.  Well, that’s not entirely true.  I am hitting the pool 4-5 times a week, and it seems that my distances are getting longer before I’m almost drowning, but I still have a long way to go.

I had a goal listed to SWIM 200M NON-STOP by April 1st.  Well, April 1st is in a couple days, and I’m not sure I’ll be able to pull it off.  I will be trying for sure Thurs morning.  I’ll probably pull it off, but it won’t be pretty.  I’ll be on my back probably more than on my front, but I will attempt to do 8 laps relatively non-stop assuming I don’t encounter any waddlers.

I did get a freestyle snorkel to help work on form without the worry of breathing, and it certainly has helped as I can go WAY further with the snorkel than without it.  I’m still training without the snorkel, for example; this morning I did a total of 7 laps total(350m), 3 laps of those were without the snorkel.

Bottomline, I’m going to keep plugging at it until the last minute of my first triathlon.  I have until June 11th to change from a triathlon to a duathlon. 🙂
