I just got back from the pool, and I swam my first mile with out stopping I usually hit a wall about 1000 yards or so.

I had a 200 yard warm up, and then I was supposed to swim 500 yards, and I got to 500 yards and was like you know what, I'm just going to try keep going and see  if I can get close to a mile. I felt really good doing it, and I still had some left when I was finished. My total time was 38:16 which is around 2:33 per 100m or so. I know it is not fast but for me it is a great accomplishment as I have never been able to swim long with out running out of gas. Just thought I would toot my own horn..soo TOOT TOOT!!!

Excellent!

I plan to hit the non-stop mile mark by this Friday.

Swimming seems to have "breakthrough" points.  It's like you're swimming 200 yards one day then all of a sudden.... wooooosh!  You feel like you could swim forever...

I love it...
