I swam when I was younger, but never really competitively. I'm 26, and just want to swim to stay in shape, and get in better shape. I've read some of the postings, and most of the workouts seem to be for people really interested in racing and such. I'm looking for a basic beginner workout which I could do and build off of. Hopefully one of you "experts" can help me.
Thanks

i'm 26 too and have just got back into swimming after about a 10 year layoff. since november i've been swimming once a week for an hour, doing about 2000metres. i tended to do the following:
200m frontcrawl
200m backcrawl
200m ***-stroke
then same through with 100m on each stroke
then some sprints for fun, say 8 lengths of one length sprint then one length recovery
then repeat the beginning again until the time was up!!
every now and then i'd put some drills in there for something a bit different
i've now got fit and fast enough to be allowed into the local masters swimming squad so i obviously was doing something right!
