Well, it's that time. End of another year spent overweight and out of shape. I'm done with this body. Time to go back into the pool. This time I will stick with it. Gonna follow the "zero-to-1 mile in 6 weeks" plan and go from there. Hard to believe I was an "A" swimmer circa 1983. :D
Wish me luck....

I was wondering if someone could advise me.. I have suffered with severe acne over the last number of years and now have acne scars on my back. I used to be a keen swimmer but for the last 6 years haven't been near a pool as am too embarrassed to be seen without my top. I know most indoor pools frown on the wearing of T-shirts etc...but does anyone have any advice....have recently got a proplapsed disc in my lower back so would love to get into the pool again...
Any suggestions?......would be much appreciated!
I don't know if this will make you feel better but I don't pay to much attention to the appearance of the other swimmers at my pool. There's an older guy with a white swim cap who is usually in the lane next to me - he's fast (which is motivating). There's a woman with a red & orange suit, and another who wears black and has a big mesh bag of stuff. They're the only ones I've really taken notice of, and thats really about all I can tell you about them. I doubt they could tell you much more about me - black suit, does a lot of backstroke maybe?
I do understand a bit though. I had a baby in June and I think I look awful in my suit . . . I was not excited to drop my towel and walk across the deck, but now I'd bet no one really noticed. :dunno: I'm just having fun getting back in the swing of things.
