Pool Time

Well I took my training to Canada Games Pool in New Westminster today and spent 25 minutes doing lengths and after 2 full lengths of the front crawl i had to stop to catch my breath,and at that point I was still only in the water for less than five minutes! however once I slowed down and concentrated on breathing properly things were good for the next 20min. Today was a far cry from a 2.5 mile swim in an open lake but now I have an idea about the level of training this will take. After the swim I rode the stationary bike for 48min,and I think within the next couple of weeks a proper training schedule will start to form.
