Swimming Challenge Update! Final Week!!!!!

I'm entering my final few days of my swimming challenge.  I have until Wednesday to meet my goal. 1st goal was to be able to swim 100 by the end.  Second goal was  a 200.  Ultimate goal would be to swim a 250 which is half the distance I need to swim for the triathlon. 

I think I will be able to complete the first goal.  I'm not sure about the other 2.  But, I do know that I feel a lot more at home in the water.  I even preformed my first handstand in the water this past week.  Thanks to Jonnie and Bethany.  They have been helping me work on that goal.   I was also able to complete my first 75 this past week.  Yeah!!!!  I know everyone else in the pool was happy for me when I screamed "I DID IT!!!" afterwards. 

It amazes me all that I have learned from this experience.  I have met lots of new people.  Gained a ton more confidence in the water.  And I actually enjoy it.  That doesn't mean that I look forward to going every night.  Matter of fact the last two workouts I have slowly dragged my self there.  But, the workouts were done!

Looking forward to another hard and goal setting week!!  Here is my plan for this week.
