As Chris mentioned, get to the pool and start to swim, get confident swimming and building distance so that you know you have confidence completing a race swim distance. it does not have to be done fast. As a progression to 70.3, do Trinity, it is a well organised event and would recommend their sprint distance event in January. Don't race it, just do it and finish, get use to transition and changing from each discipline. It is a fairly easy open water swim (if the wind not blowing) and if you start pool swimming now, you will be able to do the 750m swim no problem. Having completed, then will be the time to reflect, Trinity have another event in April when you can build for their standard distance, (1.5/40/10) After that you can probably consider the 70.3 in June in Durban or Bela Bela in August with either East London 70.3 in Jan 22 and Durbs in June 22, or go straight to 70.3 distance. Then PE in 2023
