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?

Mazzy how I wish 60-65 would be great, 74 heading for 75 in May.
The pools in non metric countries were built basically 25 yards, because 4 X 25 makes 100 yards. The Usa has not switched to metric and I am not sure if they are still building yard pools or not. In Canada we now build swimming pools in metric. We have not switched over to metric completely in construction materials or things like building a house. Our grocery stores sell by the pound and Kilo.
But when we sell ply wood in Canada it is in feet if overseas sold metric. We use liters to buy gasoline - metric. In the USA they sell gallons. If we use the imperial gallon what I learned it is 1/5th more then the USA gallon.
So if I drink a quart of beer in Canada I get 1/5th more beer then if I bought a quart of US beer.
