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.

This past weekend, I was talking to a triathlete who only started swimming a year ago. She was still uncomfortable being in water too deep to stand. Also, in a previous race had suffered abuse from some of the other contestants during the swim (kicks, pushes, water waves just as the head turns to breathe, etc.)
I assume you were asking about conditioning, but make sure you address the other, non-fitness issues also.
