Hey, I am looking for a little "aquatic-guidance".
I last swam a masters program at 19. I am turning 24 this summer, and today was the first time I had jumped back into the pool since 19. Needless to say, I lasted about 500m of kick and then hit the shower.
My technique is a little off, but for the most part still holds well. I am obviously very out of shape, and will be needing to hit the pool a lot over the next few months; ready and willing though!
For a Breaster/Free guy, what sort of sets, drills, work-outs might you suggest? Especially geared towards the long hiatus!

I came back as well this year, and found a group and have been swimming with them for a year. The problem has been that this group only swims freestyle. Looking at the boards, it seems all other masters groups swim all 4 strokes. I am moving this summer and I am very afraid to join a new masters group. I haven't done a different stroke in over 20 years and I'm not sure I can make it 25 yards in anything but freestyle! I truly want to join a masters group for fitness and work towards competing, but am really afraid to!
