Swim in pool at West Park

In the morning, I got up at 8:00am, went to decal office to renew my campus parking decal, before 9:00am, I got to the pool. It is my first time to swim here.
The entrance fee is $2.20. The pool is 50m instead of yard long. There was only one lady in the pool when I got there. She left in around 9:30am, and I was only one who swam in the pool for another half an hour before suddenly a bunch of elementary students came in with their teacher.
I swam 100m easy free style, flutter kick with board 100m (3'10", same as 2'54" 100yard). Then 100m easy free style. I change my scheme from timing every 100m to timing the whole 400 meter in whole. It was sub 13' to finished the 400 meters. It was about 3'10" for first 100 meters, but 6'30" for 200 meters since I was tired. But I continued, and finished next 200 meters faster. So the total time is about 12'55" or so. This drill gives me feeling of how to kick when I am tired. After the 400m flutter kick, I easy swim 100m with focus on hand stroke. Then a TI drill 5, skating, mostly on my right side (left side up), for 100m. I then time my 100m free style, and ironically enough, it was 2'44", no faster then my flutter kick. I also timed my breaststroke and it was 2'40" for 100m. Today's total is 1000 meters.
My goals before fall semester begins:
1 to swim 2000m per day. (under 70minutes)
2 500 m flutter kick, 100m under 3' and 400 m under 12'30".
3 1000 m freestyle: 1X100m under 2'40" 3X100m under 2'35" 3X200m under 5'20".
4 300 m breaststroke, 100m under 2'30", 200m under 5'05".
5 200-300m TI drills, doing each drills per day.
