Hello,
I'm 30 year old male that just started to swim again with consistency and motivation. It's been 15 years since I swum competitively. I used to be very strong, competitive swimmer through early high school and then one day I just stopped to focus on my academics. One of the biggest mistakes and regrets of my life.
Just completed 2 mile swim in a time I'm happy with so I just joined Masters again after a brief failed bout in 2009. I am looking to become competitive again, but I have been out of it so long I don't know how much time and commitment is required. I work full time and getting a Master's degree in the evenings. Wife and I are looking to starting a family soon too.
So far I've committed an hour a day for swimming and triathlon related training. Are any of you in situations with busy life schedules that have been able to successfully carve time and effort towards competitive swimming? Any tips for someone trying to get back into it after a long time?
Thanks

Thanks for all your suggestions and sharing your experiences. Doctor told me yesterday I have PF in both feet #SMH so it looks like it's going to be only swimming for now. I used to really enjoy running and used to run track and field back in high school so that's why I thought maybe triathalon training would be good.
I will definitely check out USRPT. For now my goal is 1 hour a day of swimming 5-6 times a week. I'll let everyone know how it goes in a few months.
Thanks again for your welcoming responses.
