I have been a runner most of my adult life. And even when "out of shape" I can just pick up and put on a pretty good run. But I would like to do a Triathlon. Maybe just one, not sure. But my concern is the swimming part. I am an average swimmer. Nothing special, but I can get around the water without too much trouble. My question for anyone that knows is:
Can an average person without any special training swim 1000 meters without drowning or completely embarrassing themselves?
I'm looking at doing the Triathlon in Lexington at the end of September ... maybe.
