I was very into biking when i decided I wanted to try triathlon. I did some running in Jr HS and on my own in HS, didn't care for it that much but knew I could do it if I wanted. I grew up at and in the water and knew how to swim, unfortunately, once I hit the pool I discovered that I was a very poor swimmer. I needed massive help and took individual lessons for a few months.

In my opinion you can figure out how to bike and run from stuff you read on the web, but getting good at swimming requires good technique and the best way to get there is through lessons.
