Thinking back on your swimming history what were some of the milestones that you aimed for along the way? As examples, last year I set out to swim the 100 fly and this year the 200 fly. At the time just completing those events was a significant challenge. Now I'm working on getting under 30s for the 50m free, which for some reason seems to have more significance than going under 32, or under 31. Probably any round number seems significant, like under 1:00 for the 100m. What other goals or milestones do people see as having special significance? I'm interested in milestones at all levels. I'm hoping to construct a list that will give people goals to work towards beyond just improving their current times, probably with an emphasis on goals for beginners. Thanks!

side note: Ande there was a point in my life where I could do more than 25 pull-ups ... I'd bet money I could still eek out 7 or 8 ... (remember I was a gymnast, we did pull-ups and chin-ups every day ... we used to do 20 pull-ups, switch our grip and do 20 chin-ups; we'd go through that multiple times)
As for milestones ... breaking :30 in a 50fr ... Easily holding 200s under 3:00 ... breaking 1:10 on a 100 fr ... swimming a legal 400IM, swimming the mile ...
Future milestones ... breaking 1:00 in a 100 fr, breaking :30 in the 50 fly, breaking :30 for a 50M fr ... breaking 2:00 in the 200yd Fr ...
