I've started swimming. It's a lot of work and I'm not very good at it, but I'm committed to being able to do a sprint triathlon. Most of those have a 400 meter swim. I can swim 400 meters, eventually, by stopping every lap. I'm trying to slow down, and that's helping. I think I'm wasting a lot of energy.

I'm trying to figure out what to do about pools. The nicest pools are also the cheapest but are also the least available: local high school pools have some time they're open to the public. A local gym has a 24/7 pool. Membership is expensive and the pool isn't as nice. But 24/7 is great.
