No really, it is official. I am really going to learn how to swim. I am thinking that really it can't do any harm right!? If anything it will make me look better in a swimsuit while I sit by the side of the pool next summer after I swim my laps.
Not to mention those "tri suits" are something to behold. My body in one of those is going to look FANTASTIC
Not my body pictured below (sadly I don't have that many curves), that is just for reference sake.
However, I am wondering if November 6th is too lofty of a goal to think that I could do a Triathlon by then. . . .The Turkey Tri. I think I can.
I have no worries about the bike (climbing 400 South is one of my strong points) and I can kill it on a 5k run. . . just don't want to drown at the end in the pool. I would rather die with spandex and a Garmin watch on my wrist or some really great helmet hair and a jersey tan than with a swim cap and swimsuit on. I'm much prettier the first two ways (not to mention I have more experience with almost dying when running and riding than I do with swimming so it just seems more natural that way).
But
I'm not going to die, because I'm learning how to swim.

I'm learning too! But I think I am more behind than you....I'm still learning to kick efficiently and trying to find my "sweet spot" in the water...oh yeah, and get the whole blowing water out my nose and mouth while I'm in the water. I'm pretty much a true beginner. I'm glad you are learning too. We should do a tri together in the future!
I did that tri a few years ago and people were seriously bouncing off the bottom of the pool. It will be the perfect one to practice your new swimming skills.
No one can throw a cigarette on you and burn you in the pool. You can do it and you will be amazing!!
Your awesomeness astounds me.
And.... how do you know Tom and Deena Horton?! Tom was Keith's roommate at BYU. Small world....
I'm not sure whether to laugh or be worried for you!
Good luck with the swimming.
