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

Gee, I was actually kinda proud of my 1650 in 50 minutes this morning...Well, it'll get better I guess. I've only been back in the water for 2 weeks now. I don't care for the term "beginner" since I used to be a competitive swimmer, but I guess in many ways, I 'am' a beginner again. Glad I found this site though. Lotsa good reading.
