I'm planning on getting back into swimming...this week.
I'm scared to death.
It's been a decade and a half since I did a real swimming workout.
I'm starting to get cold feet....I didn't even have cold feet before my wedding.
I know that everyone I meet etc. will be very accepting etc, but I'm still kinda freaking.
Help!

Everything Rob said PLUS:
I started swimming again three years ago, after a 15 year lay off. I'm 6 ft tall and at the time weighed slightly over 400 lbs.
The first day I could only get 8 laps in a 25 yd pool, holding on to the ends for dear life. The next time I went I swam 9 laps, the next time a little more and then after awhile stopped holding the ends of the lane, etc.
I now swim miles and miles and miles and absolutely love it. I'm still BIG but not nearly as big as I was. I just tell everyone I'm Santa getting in shape for "my night".
So the phrase "If I can do it, anyone can" seems appropriate.
Good Luck
