Hello again...I posted previously on the "other" forum. This one is probably the better one for this subject.
I've kind of run into a wall with my current workout. I've been swimming about 20 laps all freestyle straight through without any rests. That's it. It's getting kind of boring.
A little background to my previous swimming...I swam in HS about 30 years ago. Freestyle was the only stroke I swam. I can swim *** stroke and back, but freestyle is the one I use whenever I swim. I have swam off and on since then, but nothing competitive.
I enjoy swimming for the physical (and mental) workout, but I definitely feel the need to vary my workout. As it is now, I'm not looking forward to it like I used to. It's become more of a chore which isn't a good way to go about it.
My goal is to continue swimming to stay in shape without getting burned out. I'd even consider a Master program if it was in the PM hours versus the AM hours. Work from 7 - 4 so the morning workout is kind of limited.
Advice from others that have been though this would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Sean
Good on ya for getting back in the water. There are a lot of resources here, the workout sets:
Workouts - U.S. Masters Swimming Discussion Forums
are a good place to start, I'd suggest picking and choosing sets that fit what you want to do. If you're going for a triathlon, or going to try for a meet, you should be able to find something that works for you.
There is a lot of good information here on Ande's thread:

I got back in the water about three years ago after about a 20 year walkabout. The team I swim with is a really nice group, and I've run into friends I haven't seen in many years at meets. I should have done this years ago...
