I just started swimming a few weeks ago. ( lap swimming) I have no experience at all but would like to swim in a 2.2 mile event next june. Is this possible? Can anyone direct me to some type of workout plan leading up to the event? I just want to make sure I am not getting in over my head. Any reply would be greatly appreciated.

Adam,
A year is typically more than enough time to prepare for a 2.2 mile Open Water swim.
As for the types of workouts, I would suggest that you get in contact with a local Masters swimming program and get involved with them. Once you’re there you can discuss your goals with the coach and see if their program suits your needs.
