I did it! 36 laps without stopping!

Thanks to all of the BT regulars for all of your advice and guidance. I have been lurking here daily for almost two years, while steadily improving my fitness. During that time I have lost 20 pounds, completed four Sprint triathlons, and one half marathon. Like most beginners, swimming has been very difficult. I took a lesson when I first started, so I have a basic understanding of good form. Today for some reason, it all just clicked. I felt good in the water, and finally I was able to make 36 laps without stopping. Thanks again BT, and to the beginners out there that think they will never be able to swim, just keep at it. Your day is coming.
