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?

Break 30 in the 50 free by my 38th birthday and break 1:05 in the 100 free.
38th birthday came and went on March 30. I swam 31.10 on Saturday at a meet in NC. :( I'll count it as complete though if I can manage to hack a second and a tenth off my time at Zones!
Woohoo! 1.23 seconds is what I knocked off of my 50 free time for a 29.87. Only 12 days past my 38th birthday, which was my original goal.
I also knocked 1.96 seconds from my 100 free time to go 1:08.50. Getting closer to that goal. Perhaps by the end of the year.
