Hello All...
My name is Elizabeth and I have a quick question. I used to be a swimmer but haven't since high school because I do not do well with competing for time.
But I love the distance... so my question is this....
Is there long distance swimming that is more based on endurance than on time... if so, what is this called? Is this a professional event thing, or is there ameteur... What's the longest distance out there... etc. etc.
Thanks, I appreciate any comments.

well, it'll have to be 500 meters on Next wednesday because I can't join the Y till then. HA.. but you better believe I will be there at 5:20 sharp ( which is the fastest I can drive after work without getting in trouble. :)
I figured out why I swam and swam and swam all day in the ocean and swam distance but couldn't do it in the lap pool... it's the snorkel... I was breathing regularly through it... So apparently I need some MAJOR work on breathing during laps which doesn't surprise me because I would start losing my breath after 3-4 laps and be physically exhausted during swim meets back in high school...
Any suggestions?
You've been so helpful Sharon, I really appreciate it!
