    I don't think my local Y is doing it, but I am doing a short "Sprint" triathlon this year for the first time. 3 run trails, 6 bike, 400M swim. I have done 10Ks (and more) and I usually do the bike leg for this triathelon, but I am not much of a swimmer. I have been teaching myself the freestyle via Youtube videos. They are pretty good. I am making lots of progress. I can do 30 lengths of a 25yd pool (with fairly long rest breaks between). The only problem is the race will have 50 M lengths.... so I have a ways to go before Aug. I am signing up for swim lessons on Monday at the Y. I would recommend this for you too. Good Luck!

    Yep, I'm doing it! I'm new to swimming for exercise, too, but I swam a ton as a kid. Good luck to you! I personally am loving it!
