uhhh, hi... i'm new here. and, in reality, new to swimming. thirty two years ago in basic training i had to learn how to swim to graduate. since then... no swimming.... last year (in december 2006) i decided to start swimming... i have no idea what kind of expectations i should have with regard to ability or progress.... at this point... i swim two to three days a week. typically, i swim one mile without stopping. currently, it takes me about 34 to 36 minutes to swim that. when i am done, i still feel relatively fresh... today, i went 1.5 miles.... 50 minutes.... the only stroke i know is the freestyle... can't do a flip turn to save my sorry carcass.... any suggestions... comments... ideas of what to look forward to... i have no idea if i'm any good at this, but it sure is fun... thanks in advance...

i guess my question was vague, huh... actually, in reading through.. it seems there was no question... however, the suggestions from each of you (michelle, rich and oguz) are excellent. thank you. i truly have no idea what i am doing (besides having fun). i will continue scouring the boards here, i will pick up the book. and i will continue to have fun... thanx, again.
