Does Practice Make Perfect?

Chris I just do not want to make a fool out of my self. I swim a little, I almost get ready to swim and then I am out of the water for a month or two. My last serious swimming was in October and Dec. Intentions are there but execution not there. I sign up for a month of swimming and may get there 5 times. Since Dec 22nd I have been in the water 15 times. I know I can do OK if I were to race even without being in shape I can swim a 30 second 50m lc crawl without training at all. The fly I doubt I can swim under 40 sec without training and if I did this without preparation I would have a heart attack. We are heading to Mexico again and will train for 2 months then fly home and try to keep training to swim in Oregon in August. The entry forms will be out next week. I hope to enter the 50, the 100 free and the 50 and 100 fly.
