Whoa! That's a lot of laps

I signed up for the triathlon swim class last night. Good thing, because when I got into work, coach Josh had some swim suggestions waiting in my inbox. 28 laps (1 lap is one length and back) for the first workout - I think that is a good portion of a mile. I've never done that many laps in one workout ever. They did say that we can modify it to our ability. I think I will half workout #1.
