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 just started back up and would like to get back into reasonable shape meaning that I could swim fairly fast and feel strong for a whole workout. currently my times are slow and I get weak at the end of my about 3000+ yard workouts. I would like to at least be within 5 seconds of my best 100 fly time, which was 102. I'd like to be able to swim 100s on 1:20 (currently can do them on 1:40.) I don't know what else yet but I'm sure I will have more goals as time goes by.
