Swim A Mile In 6 Weeks

Dr. Todd Narson; NaturalSportsMedicine.com

While I was training for my first triathlon back in July (2010) one of the highlights of getting myself back into "shape" was when I was able to complete my first mile swimming in the pool. Since then, I have done it almost weekly when I train and now I'm going for more.

Most people tell me they always wanted to do a triathlon but cannot swim for a hill of beans. Well, today some guys in the pool turned me onto a great basic swim training program that will help you go from Zero to 1650 in just 6 weeks (1650 yards in the pool = 1-mile, why? Good question but that's what "they" say)

So to all those who are interested in getting into triathlons and are apprehensive about the swim, here's a great little plan to get you up to speed in just 6 weeks.
