I'm 59 and started swimming laps in January. It takes me 50-60 min. to swim a mile. I swim 3 times a week. I started swimming to strengthen my back and it has certainly helped. I had also hoped to see some overall change in my body (more toned, less sag), but that hasn't happened.
Do you have to swim fast to reap the benefits of swimming?
I don't have much power in my kick and am not sure how to improve it. I've tried using a kickboard, but am not able to kick as vigorously when I swim without the kickboard.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Coach T,
I went to your site and found it to be a bit overwhelming for myself who is taking a short break before I resume my duties. Is there a "dummy's guide for those needing to do strength training at home where this dummy does not have any equipment"?
Thanks:help:
It is a very comprehensive site but the video that shows how to do the exercises is simply too cool. Just take your time and look at the exercises and the equipment that is similar to yours and you'll get into the site. Good luck, Tom
