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 will seriously condense my goals and give just the highlights.
Long Term: To make top ten in 1500 SCM most likely next year but who knows the way I am going it could become a short term goal.
Short Term: break 22 minutes in the 1650 Free, break 29 in the 50 Free and 33 in the 50 Fly.
I guess I will need to reset my goals since I broke 29 in the 50 Free already, tied the 33 in the fly. This leaves only one short term goal left and I won't swim that until Nationals.
New goals for Nationals break 22 minutes in the 1650 Free, break 1 minute in the 100 Free, break 6 minutes in the 500 Free, 3 minutes in the 200 Fly and 2:40 in the 200 IM.
