Swimming coming along

I guess I've been at it for about four weeks now. When I started back in the pool, a 50-yard freestyle was a bit of a struggle, and a 100-yard free left my heart trying to thump its way out of my chest.

Four weeks later, I am routinely managing to complete a workout consisting of ten easy 100-yard free plus some number (usually ten) moderate 50-yard free, along with a short warmup and cooldown. Yesterday morning (Oct 30), I was able to complete five 200-yard free, so I'm definitely making progress; however, I'm also trying to do it using this new Total Immersion style of freestyle, and I know that my form is breaking down a bit after around 125 yards. I need to make sure I focus on my drills a bit more and not try to get too aggressive with distance for a while longer. That will come with time.
