I am looking to begin swimming again. I would also like to compete. There is a group near me with times I can go, I just need to get in there. I swam competively for 3 years in HS, and haven't since. I also taught swimming lessons, and lifeguarded for 4 years. My HS swimming was cut short by a pregnancy in the beginning of my senior year, or I probably would have swam at college as well... I used to be pretty good, and really enjoyed all aspects of swimming. Any tips for a "newbie"? TIA!

There are places you can start on your own and then go to a team if it works with your job. Anyway, I have a litle advantage swimming on my own in that I swam as a kid years ago and gear
my workouts to my aginging body. Ido all four strokes but when I first staretd it was mainly freestyle and breaststroke. Read the fitness section and don't overdo it.
