This was a big swim workout for me. I have never gone 1000 yds without stopping and I got to the pool with a lot of motivation and felt like going for a long swim. It felt great! I was able to keep a nice steady pace and I focused on swimming calmly and fluidly. I think it took about 20 min to do 1,000 yds. I was very pleased to see that after several months of swimming, I am getting pretty fit in the pool.

Good work on the swim man. You are taking to swimming like a fish takes to water - does that analogy work?
You seem to already have the confidence in the swim. Took me much longer...good stuff.
