Doesn't look like I can run for a while so I am going to attempt swimming. Ages ago one of the H&F blogs I read had something about a swim training program for beginners? I've gone through my blogs since January-and I haven't been able to find it. Anyone remember whose blog it was, or can offer a link to a similar program as couch25K for swimming?
Have you swam before? In HS or college? Because if you haven't you should take some swimming lessons. Unfortunately, swimming is not like running in that all you need to do is put on a swimsuit/cap/goggles and get in the pool. Technique is very important and it's hard to learn on your own.
You should check with YMCA or your gym to see if they offer swimming classes. Sorry, I don't have any links HTH.

There is a similar program, where it takes you from swimming little to swimming a mile in 7 or 8 weeks. I cant remember the name of it though...try googling that.
