Feel free to post both your short-term and long-term goals here relating to your swimming either as achievements with or without competition.
Here is my short-term goal while I am visiting in Texas:
To swim from the Joe Pool Lake Beach to the dam and back. Distance: 9.68 miles. I want to do this before October 6th.
The interesting thing is because I am in Texas, I have not been swimming the mileage I was doing when in Roatan. I have sort of been in a state of tapering throughout the week with a long swim on Sundays. AND, I am swimming further on those Sundays. Instead of swimming 6 miles, 4xweek, I am doing 4 miles three times a week with a long swim on Sundays; quite a reduction. The thought of over-training comes to mind as I ponder all this.
Next goal: 13 mile swim by end of November.
What are your goals?

Hmmmmmmm this post has gotten me thinking.
I just got back into the pool after 22 years give or take a year. So my initial goal is to swim 4 times a week, do some cardio on the off day and just improve my over all cardio. I need to lose some weight and tone up so I hope that this all helps. Come Christmas I will re-evaluate how things are going. I am interested in doing a Masters competition sometime in January.
That is it for now. They may seem small to some but I am 41, had thyroid cancer , 2 surgeries and treatment. So I am THRILLED with myself. I have a competitive nature so I know my goals will change as I get into shape and continue to swim.
I hope to make this a lifelong committment.
