I wrote before and got some great advice. I am doing a 1 mile swim in the bay on June 10th. I have not been in the pool regularly training. This week I got in 3 times. The first day I did 4 laps straight. The second day I did a 500, 400, 300, and 200. On the third day I swam 60 laps. I do all this in a 30 minute-40 minute time frame. Do you think I will be okay if I continue to do something like this? Any other training ideas. I am a teacher and have a 2 year old, so there is not much free time. I want to be ready, but can't spend hours each day training. Agin any ideas would be great. I am just looking to finish this event, I'm not trying to break any records. I just don't want to have to be pulled from the water.

Jaime,
The best thing about this event is that the homestretch is long and easy. You'll swim out into the currents, then against the currents for a couple hundred yards, and then you're adjacent to the roadway in water that is ~2 feet deep for the last ~1/3 mi. In the 4.4mi, you'll find a LOT of people taking a long walk at this point.
Your training sounds good. My advice is to watch Finding Nemo and follow Dori's advice - JUST KEEP SWIMMING! Good Luck!
