Swimming is my weakest link in triathlons. Actually, running is pretty weak too. Quite literally, I didn't think I could run a mile a month ago and now I can at least complete a sprint distance tri... slowly. The bike is awesome because I always pass people and that feels awesome.

Right now, I'm comfortable swimming a 400 m breast stroke pretty slow. I haven't been swimming much, and my arms tire very quickly. I also have asthma which makes controlling my breathing a bummer. Any tips on how to improve from here? Should I bother with drills at this early stage in my training or just keep doing the 400m as often as possible. Our mini-tris are every Monday and I'm planning on racing every one.
