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 see you have been watching things here since last October.
May I give you an unofficial welcome.
Are you trying to do 100m in a minute which is a big feat for lots of swimmers or are you talking 100 yards. 6' and 147 pounds, put on a few lbs but not too many.
The more you swim the easier it becomes. Work on technique and a little bit of distance and you may attain your goals soon.
Thanks,

Yes I've joined last year but at the end I've postponed my return in pool until this season, I feel that I've made the right decision, my muscles are way ahead of my breath. So I can improve at fast rate in the first few weeks before the breath catch-up and so I don't feel too exhausted at the end of a workout.
Unfortunately, It's meter.
Yes there's a big difference, 100yrds = 91.44m, about 9% difference, I've shoot too high, let's do 1:05, that translate roughly into 1:00 for 100 yards.
