Bragging time :)

I am so pleased with my efforts that I have to shout about it!!

Finally, this morning I managed to swim 1 mile in 30 mins - in fact I swam 2 miles crawl in exactly 60 mins!!

Brilliant - this was a goal I have had in mind for the past 18 months (when I could swim a mile in 40 mins). I can't believe I have done it - now the aim is to swim 3 miles in 1 hour and 30 or less. May take a while but I think I will get there....

Perseverance and practise are all you need so go for it everyone!

    Amazing stuff! I'm sure when you think of the person who started 18 months ago it's hard to imagine it's still you!!!

    Congratulations on a job well done, Panda - although I have to say I'm not surprised that you did it. I'm betting the time it takes you to reach the new goal will be less than what it took for you to get to where you are now. Keep up the great work, you should be VERY proud of yourself!!!!!

    That is awesome! Just curious -- what exactly did you do to drop your time so much? I can swim a half mile in just under 23, a mile in about 47. Never occurred to me (until reading your post just now) that I could, possibly, reduce that. Not anywhere near what you can do, but maybe 40 min?
