I've decided to get very good at swimming. But unfortunately, I couldn't find a workout posted here for a really weak rookie like me. I can only spend at most an hour for each workout. Would anyone post a good one for me?

The SwimInfo website (www.swiminfo.com) has a database of suggested workouts including some short, relatively low intensity workouts specifically for "fitness" swimmers -- there's a link to them on the left hand side of the SwimInfo site labeled "Find a Workout". Bear in mind that you shouldn't assume you have to do the SwimInfo workouts EXACTLY as written -- you can modify the intervals and number of repeats to suit your own level of ability and leave out or mix-and-match sets (no one will tell. :) ) That's pretty much true of all suggested workouts you find on-line, although my sense is that the ones posted on this website have very specific goals in mind so that I would be more reluctant to modify those greatly.
But as Dave said it can be difficult to do a good workout on your own.
