Help!! I just signed up and now officially a Master Swimmer....Now What??? I really don't know where to start......
I used to swim in High School....a long time ago. I now take my son to swimming and stay and usually read a book when I noticed "older swimmers"......so now instead of reading I want to swim!!
I'll be swimming during open swim (so no coach avail), I'm about 100 pounds overweight......Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should do...how I start this??? :confused: I want to start tomorrow, Monday, Jan 4.
Thank you so much!!! :)

Welcome back!
My $0.02: I had a really hard time, both physically and psychologically, getting back in the pool until I had lost quite a few of the 45 pounds I had gained in the 20 years out of the pool (since high school). I found that running was the way to make those pounds disappear. Now that I'm thin again, I feel much better in the pool. Regardless of weight loss issues, prepare yourself for a long path. Set modest goals that revolve around frequency in the pool rather than yardage.
Good luck!
