When I started swimming in January, it took 30 minutes to swim 750 meters. By the end of February I had it down to 25 minutes and today I swam the 750 meters in 21:30. I have 20 minutes in my sights!
One of the reasons that I've enjoyed the swimming is because I was SO BAD. Because I was so bad, it has been easy to see some serious progress. I get motivated by progress! I've been using a technique called Total Immersion after a friend (SUB6) recommended the book by Terry Laughlin. It really helped me learn an actual style of crawl and begin improving my consistency.
I have a sprint triathlon scheduled for May 23rd, which I'm excited about. It's going to be me and a dozen friends, here in Chiang Rai, Thailand. 750m swim, a 20 km bike, and a 5 km run... Should be fun!

Great progress! I'm having battles in my mind whether to stick with TI but it is a great way to swim. I'm sure you'll continue to see that time tumble :)
