Terrible. Haven't swam a lap in 5 months. Water was cold, you didn't start in the pool but had to jump in and swim. Gasping the whole way, had to stop at the wall twice.
What would you do differently?:

Just get in the pool, not jump in. Swim a little beforehand.

My training was taking off. I had never felt stronger. I was making bigger strides than I ever had. I was stronger and faster than I had imagined myself ever being.
