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?

I looked at last years USMS results and I would come in last even in my age group. For instance 1000y has 48 swimmers from 12-23 minutes. I generally swim 1000 in 28-something. An all-out 1000 might give me 2 minutes faster but that's it. I might expect to do 45 or 46 for 1650.
I'm a veteran of about 500 road, track, and triathlon races, and now 3 swim meets. I did not get the same feeling of camaraderie in the swim meets as with running. I felt very much out of place.
