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!
you can swim other strokes with your current group, but you will probably have to swim on slower intervals as a result.
