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!!

I forgot to mention this -- I can't remember who suggested it, but I did buy a pair of prescriptin goggles, and they made a huge difference for me. I felt very confident when I could actually see the buoys, and the other swimmers near me -- where they were looking, swimming to, and how I needed to react (if at all). Just seeing the surroundings with more than a blurr was a great help to me.
Having a wet suit also added a touch of confidence:)
Now if I can just learn to run more than a shuffle, I may just get good at this!
