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'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.

"Scwids" is how my little sister used to spell squids back when she was learning to read. (A looooonnnnnngggggggg time ago!!!) It's been a joke in my family ever since. :D Which makes me wonder about some other people's forum names too......
