I'm signed up for the USMS Fall Fitness challenge. Can someone explain what exactly I'm supposed to do? The rules/direction aren't really clear to me. Just swim a mile??? Am I suppose to time myself. Report my results to anyone?

These are geared for the fitness swimmer, not necessarily team swimmers. The idea is to get more recreational swimmers involved and active in the sport. Hopefully, they will become team swimmers!
This. I don't have a group of my own, but having a fixed goal (in this case, a mile swim logged between 11/15 and 11/30) gives me something to work at that isn't just swimming between walls. The written workouts USMS offers have been very helpful for me, as far as how do I get better, what kinds of things can I try, and a taste of what a workout group might be like. I know personally I've felt better in the water, and that makes me feel more confident about perhaps joining a club or group or even competing at some date.
