   I'm training for my first sprint triathlon in August 08. The only concern I have is the 0.5 mile swim. I started practicing and noticed right away that I'm not a very strong swimmer. I just can't seem to find a pace that also allows me to breath comfortably. For example, yesterday I only made it 10 minutes (6 laps in a 50 meter pool)before I had to stop. And this wasn't even open water.

   Does anyone have any training tips on stroke and breathing technique?

   Any comments will be greatly appreciated.

   Look for a tri-coach in your area and take smoe swimming lessons. Everyone I've spoken to about triathlon training reccommends them. Good Luck!

   Or you could find a Master's team w/a coach and swim with the team. Best of luck!

   Check out Total Immersion... it's a great swim program. Even though I've known how to swim my entire life, once I found Total Immersion, I began to really love open water swimming.
