I am new to triathlons and am doing my first (a sprint) in less than two weeks. I just recently found this site. I'm pretty nervous, especially about the swim. Any helpful hints would be very welcome! :-)

Best hint we can give you, is have fun!! Really. I'm glad you found us (just in the knick of time!! :-) ) You'll be fine with the swim. Just remember you can always do the breast stroke or the side stroke if you need to. You'll be great!

And if you have any questions at all, Cheryl, post 'em! You'll probably get more information than you'd expect.

Welcome!  good luck in your tri.  I agree with Dana, relax!  The tri is what you've trained so hard for - take your time and enjoy it!  The swim just might be the most fun part!

I'm doing my first tri in about 4 weeks. I'm pretty nervous about the swim myself. I feel pretty comfortable with the bike and the run. I went to a traithlon this weekend just to watch. It helped to see everyone having fun. Not everyone was real serious about winning. My goal is to get in shape again and just finish!!!
