Hi. I am just starting back to swimming after a 20 year image problem related absence. I am having a hard time figuring out a workout that is something I can accomplish. I can do all strokes, except butterfly. This week I started swimming 1900 yds everyday. I am not swimming it all at once, but trying to do sets. For example, today I swam:
1x200 fr, 1x100 ***, 10x25 fr alternating fists and trying to sprint!!!, 5x50 br. 1 normal, 1 no kick, 1 no pull, and 1 normal, 1x200 fr. alt breathing and fists, 4x50 alt. br. and back, 3x100 fr. 1 normal, 1 fists, 1 normal, and practicing alt breathing, 4x50 br., and 4x50 free.
All were seperated by 5-20 sec. rest.
I would like to be able to shave serious time off of a 50 ***, which I am now swimming at (yikes!) 55 sec. I would also like to gain some abliity to not breath CONSTANTLY!!! Also, when you are doing your underwater bit in the free, are you supposed to be breathing out? I seem to make many bubbles that others don't.
I have been reading the posts on the discussion boards for a week or so now, and you all seem to be very knowledgable and helpful. If anyone can offer a suggestion or two, I would be very thankful.
Thanks

Thanks, I checked out his website and it was real informative. There is a masters team here, but I am pretty sure I can't keep up with them yet!
Also, turned off my alarm this morning and turned over to take my resting heartbeat, and woke up 45 min. later! Yikes! So I missed my 5:30 swim. However, I looked up my post and there was a workout for me! So since my oldest was home from school, I dropped the other kids off and he watched the youngest and I went off to swim at the 8:30 lap swim. So I tried the workout and after allowing myself a few adjustments for rest on the repeat, I finished it!!!
Thank You!!!
