Sorry if this has been posted before, new to the site and still learning to navigate.
I swam competitively in high school. That was 10 years ago. Have been in the pool on and off, but nothing steady.
Recommendations on how to ease back into shape? Should I focus on distance workouts?
I am just looking to get in some cardio, not interested in competing or getting faster.
I am shocked to find myself winded after more than a 50/ 75. I can do a pretty easy 200 when I get in. If I take a 5-10 second rest after each 50 I can swim a strong 50, have great technique and feel like I could swim for hours - however when I try to swim a 100 in the middle of my workout I find myself getting fatigued quickly.
Recs on how to structure workouts after being out of the pool for several years - obviously I'm very out of shape :/
Thanks!

Welcome back to the pool! I got back in several years ago after a 25 year taper. My first workout was, "Medic!" Now swimming is a part of my life again. Masters is cool because you don't have to raise your hand and ask to go to the bathroom.
