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 don't think your question is dumb at all. I'm new to this too, and while I feel silly asking a beginner question sometimes, the people here have so many answers and really good advice.
I'm at a similar point. I achieved my first goal and am still fishing around for my next. I got some ideas from this thread, so thanks for posting the question.
