I admit I have been a slacker since my 70.3 in June, followed by a really awesome experience swimming across a lake & back in July (2miles).

Since then the outdoor pools have closed and the lakes are too cool to swim in any more so I'm stuck to a dingy 25yd indoor-pool. That said after a 3 month hiatus I made the decision to get back on the swim wagon last week.

Getting back in the water was kind of like riding a bike, thankfully I hadn't forgotten how to swim free-style. It does however, take a lot more concentration and I find myself correcting a lot of poor form. All of those issues I had trained myself to fix over the summer, I kind of forgot. I went again on Tuesday this week and it is getting better/more enjoyable. Just have to keep going!

Good luck to those of you training to swim. It takes time, swimming one lap two years ago was so intimidating. You'll get there though!
