Hey from San Diego

Hey there,

Im new to the competitive triathlon scene, but ive always been interested in it. I played ultimate frisbee at UCSB all through college, and I ran XC and Track in high school before that. Ive always been scared to start seriously training for a tri with the thought that it would change my musculature in a way that could hurt my abilities in the sport I was serious about. Anyways, now I have the time, and im having so much fun with the little biking and running that ive been doing, that i want to pursue this more.

My short term goals are to make daily training habitual, and find a place to do some swimming.

The one real problem im having is how to train for the swim. Does anyone have any good ideas about where I could do some swim training, preferably for cheap and near north county?
