Hello everyone!

Ex-military, keen sportsman with high level competition experience in squash, mountain biking and soccer. I have been wanting to do triathlon for a long while now and finally have enought time to dedicate towards it. Running and cycling are ok but swimming is a real bind so any help or tips would be greatly appreciated!

My goals at the moment are just to complete a sprint and olympic tri and although they seem acheivable I do not know what sort of realistic times to aim for to test myself further. Long term I want to compete in an Ironman!!

Be good to hear from you all, especially UK triathletes

Welcome Mat!  I started not knowing how to swim laps at all, but I took 5 lessons and it helped a lot.  So that's an option.  There's also a book called Total Immersion that several people on this website have used. 

Good luck in your training!
