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?

I have to agree with the dragging my butt out of bed every morning to swim at 5:30.
Swimming goals....
1) go sub minute in the 100 free. PB is 1:01.2
2) do the 200 fly...goal is to go 2:30 in Austin. Did 3:08 yesterday from a push keeping it long and smooth about 80% effort.
My biggest goal is to just have fun and not get frustrated with my times.
