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!

Well, today was my third day in the water straight.
My experience when I'm out of shape (which happens a lot) is that I improve the most if I ahve a rest day after every workout day.
I start out at about 1000 yards a workout. If I workout days in a row, increasing by 100 yards each day is hard, hard, hard. If I workout every other day, then 300 to 500 yards (or more) increase per workout is pretty easy.
But then, I'm more than twice your age, so YMMV considerably.
