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 goal:
Strengthen my core muscles back up now that I've managed to slip in this area over the last 5 months. And, conquer the 50 Fly..:drown:
Mid-Term:
Get more consistent with flip turns, no matter the depth of the water, and consistently start off a block without losing balance or focus...:frustrated:
Long Term:
Qualify in two events for the 2008 Long Course Nationals.
