I wanted to start a thread to see what kind of progress other adult onset swimmers have made over the course of their careers. Hoping to see some inspiring stories/progress. Little background on myself, I signed up for Racine 70.3 in 2013, started swimming the January before and have been racing/training since. By no means a good swimmer by fish standards, but happy with the progress i have made.
Races
2013 Racine 70.3 - 42:31 (Wicked swim with the conditions, swim beat the crap out of me and definitely lead to a challenging bike and run)

2014 Chattanooga 140.6 - 55:52 (Current, alot of it)
