That is great that the thread is helping you too.
I just completed my first triathlon last weekend. I did the swim in 46 minutes (1:54 /100yd) and felt very comfortable. I swam 78,000 yards in the 5 months that I had to prepare. 59 trips to the gym pool (5 of which were lessons) and 3 trips to open water. That is roughly 1,250 yards per swim on average. I would have liked to gone more often but it was hard to get to the gym and balance family life. This gives you a better idea of my total swim training and what it took to get there.
Edit: I should also point out that I swam the race distance (2,120 yards) in the pool without stopping a few times before my race. That gave me a lot of confidence. After I swam my first 1,000 and got my breathing figured out, 2,000 only came a couple weeks later.
