OK no one has so I gotta ask:
WHY did you sign up for a HALF IM when you can only swim 2 lengths of the pool without stopping????
I am sorry it is one thing to encourage and say go for it, but this is a little extreme I think. Why not sign for a shorter one first? why not learn to swim first?
it is VERY dangerous to rely on a wetsuit for this. I disagree that swimming is mostly mental. Maybe getting over the fear of open water, the fear of swimming with other people, etc, but she said she could swim 50m!!!!! you can't 'visualize' yourself swimming a half IM distance!!!
sorry if this seems harsh but you are putting yourself and others in a dangerous situation, if it is true that you can swim just 50m right now without stopping.
I really hope that this is exagerrated and you are swimming farther now.
