Hey,
I haven't had a good swimming workout since December 2002 when my High School swim team fell through. Thats about 8 months without a good workout. I was pretty good in high school a few county appearances and almost a state. I swim all the strokes and I want to improve but I know that I will need a lot of work also. I want to start swimming again this year in college and maybe join the University swim team by next year. My question here is does anyone have any good tips for someone who has been out of swimming for awhile and to stay motivated while swimming? And my second question is does anyone have good swimming or dryland workouts or tips that I could use to make the college team by next year? You could email me at mfruth1625@hotmail.com...
Thanks,
Matt

Im not saying that I am the best over every community college swimmer but 5-6 thousand yards is barely even a High School swimming practice. Cinc310 if you have nothing better to do then try to insult me then don't respond to any of these threads. If there is one thing I learned from being on a swim team and being the swim team captain you encourage your swimmers instead of insulting them and discouraging them. If you ever coach a team or if you are on one try encouraging it might make you a better swimmer. All I wanted was a few tips on how to practice on making it to the college level, thats all. Everyone (even you in the beginning) tried to give me a heads up on what it is going to take to make it to that level. Community Colleges in my area were no longer an option after I saw some of their workouts, they were to easy. Im probably going to call the coach this week and get all the info on the team. Because No it doesn't hurt to try...
