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?

Great thread topic. Makes us all put it into words.
Short Term
Swim 6 times a week after a layoff of a year and a half. Build yardage up so that I average about 6000 yards a workout. Swim a couple of OWS this summer in the mile to 3K range.
Long Term
Continue in the good habits I develope. Continue to compete in OWS. Perhaps get back into competitive swimming (I swam in college).
