I haven't swam in quite a while (october), and I've started to notice that my stomach is kinda flabby now (even moreso since I've lost a bunch of weight this past year).
Just wondering if anyone has tips for me to get back into decent swim shape. I'm not planning on racing anymore, just trying to get to the pool a few times a week.
Also, what should I use after my swim so my hair doesn't get destroyed by the chlorine? That's the main reason why I stopped in october because my hair was always dead.:badday:

Sure.
To get back into decent swim shape, first priority is to go to the pool and swim at least 3 times a week. Consider doing some basic drylands - crunches, pushups for a few minutes each day.
About the hair, wear a cap while swimming, shampoo afterwards, get haircuts often. Think about what counts the most: being fit and healthy -vs- having perfect hair.
