So knowing you're strong on bike and run, live with being not so strong yet on the swim and do it anyway. You'll have a ton of fun and want to do it again and your swim will improve.
I'm with salsa. Since you've swam the distance once, albeit inhaling the pool in the process, you will kick yourself if you don't do it. Worst case you get hooked and want to do it again, and imagine your improvement if you actually cared more. (If it is sold out, chances are you can get someone's spot transferred, too.)
