Not really but i hit my first real milestone in swimming besides doing some sprints... That was i swam a consecutive mile for the first time tonight! Just a bit over 3 months ago i could hardly swim 25 yards with out feeling like i was going to die. Their is hope it gets easier and if you want it bad enough anything is possible. I really never thought i was going to be able to do it. I was planning on swimming 1000 then doing 400 or 500 after a rest. But i felt great and told my self you got to a 1000 what's another 650. Sorry for my rant but it feels amazing to me more than any other accomplishment i have achieved so far in swim bike run. thanks!!

Congratulations !!!!!  It is truly significant to build up like that in the swim.  I remember the first time I went to the pool after deciding to try this sport.  I was dying after 25meters, and there was this girl in the next lane just swimming and flipping and swimming and flipping.  Now I'm that girl!!!

Enjoy the journey.

I'm envious.  Congratulations.  I will be that day 1 guy in about a week.  I'm currently marathon training (40 miles/week) and will be adding 2 swims/week starting next week.  I've spoken with the Masters group and will start with them so that I can learn some technique.  I'm excited but nervous.

I still remember the first time I swam a mile continuously.  It is an exciting feeling.

Congrats

That's great! I can also remember the first time I comfortably cleared a mile in the pool, what a feeling. When I did it in open water I was on Cloud 9!!!! Keep up the great work!
