Those who took a lot of time off...how long did it take you to get back in shape?

I am wondering how long it will take. I have not swum competitively in about 20 years. I have done other exercise in these 20 years but have never been close to being in the condition I was in back then. I wonder how long it will take to get into at least moderate competitive swimming condition. I guess it is all in how one defines things. I currently swim about 3000 yards/work out and my times are a lot slower than they were back when I was in top shape. I am thinking 6 months might be enough to get into moderate shape. Anyone else here go through a similar long time away from the pool get back into fair shape? How long did it take you?

WOW it sounds like you are doing great. I am so jealous. I dont think my body would ever let me lose to much weight. Someitmes it just does not want to let me lose any:whiteflag:.SIGH. But I must admit the inches are coming off.
It does take the body a while to get used to the swimming. I really think people think it is an easy sport. OMG it is so not.
Keep up the good work. Hopefully one day I can tell you all that I have lost a ton of weight and am swimming well
Cheers
