It'll be my first tri also--I'm nervous about the swimming too. I've been hitting the pool for the past few weeks for 45 min lap sessions, but I guess I'll need to step that up.
Does anyone know of a good book or Website with a training program? I don't want to pay for one, I'd rather just find one in a book or something.
Also, I heard this weekend the the DC Triathlon Club is really good for beginners. Annual membership is $35, and supposed they've really revamped their programs in recent years to have more offerings for beginners.

BeginnerTriathlete.com is a great place to log your workouts and ask triathlon specific questions. They have training plans, some free without a membership, with many more available with a membership. I'm on there as MDHillSlug and there are a few other TE women there as well. Remember that there's a triathlon section on TE as well; a great place for info and questions.
