I am in desperate need of some training/workout suggestions to prepare for my first triathlon in two months. The swim portion of this race is .4 miles.
While I am no stranger to the water, having swam competitively from age 11 through high school, I have not really been in a pool since.
Please Help! I have two days per week to train in a pool, but I don't have any idea how I should be training!!

Thank you for all this good information Kim. I just got back from a session in the pool (I love having a day off to spend as much time as I like in the pool:p) and tried your Day 1 suggested workout. It felt great, and I see how ones form degrades WITHOUT even a brief rest. :rolleyes:
Anyway, I finished the workout in about 30 minutes and then tried working on my kick:eek: I think I have the world's weakest kick and don't really know how to improve it. I do some laps with fins after the workout, then a lap or two without. This is new for me (working on kicking), and so far I am not sure I see any improvement:mad:. But I shall look for some tips here, and continue my quest for a better (stronger) kick.
Thanks for your encouragement for a triathlon -- I'm excited as well as anxious about doing one!:D :o :eek:
Thanks again, Nancy
(I will absorb any and all tips and information that anyone would want to send my way)
