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?

short term: to go from "slow and steady" to "not quite as slow and steady"
mid-range: to double my distance from this season and do a 3 miler
long-term: to get across that :censor: 4.4 miles of the Chesapeake Bay!!!
.
I'm pretty much with scwids (squids?) here, although my no. 3 would be doing the 8-mile Lake Champlain swim-across. Maybe there are some islands I could stop at and, uh, fix my hair.
