first swim lesson

i did my first swim lesson yesterday. im 46 and obviously can swim, but i dont swim correctly, in any way. within the first 15 minutes it was much better and i feel so much more confident that with a few more lessons and putting the work in my 1.2 mile swim is doable. the moral of the story, i have read alot of posts about getting swim lessons, GET THEM if your swim is poor like mine is. maybe the swim doesnt have to just be endured to get to the bike run portions.
