Today was my first day swimming - I figure I'll swim on Saturdays until I can run again, then I'll re-evaluate.
I did 11 laps (don't know why I did #11, just seemed like the thing to do). Swimming is going to take some getting used to. I am worn out. The pool at the sportsplex is 25 meters long, so (11 laps x 25 m = 275 m) I did 275 meters. That distance included LOTS of resting breaks. I rested at the end of each lap, and by the last 3 laps, I was pretty tired. It's just a constant pull on the body, and the water is more resistance than you would think. The triathlon I'm targeting is a 500 meter swim. By the time of the race, I'd like to be swimming at least 1 Km in training (even with rests).
