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

When I started back swimming a few years ago my practice was:
Swim 500 freestyle for time
Every other or every third day.
I think I did about 7:30-8 minutes for a while.
Later I added some 50s on 1:00
Take it slow, mix in other strokes. You'll know when you are ready for more. The main thing is to show up at the pool consistently and don't injure yourself.
Swim fast,
Greg
