Workout Help: Returned to pool after 30 years

I once was a competitive Sprint swimmer. I was a mid 21 and mid 47 in the 50 and 100 free. I have literally not swam a lap in 30 years. I’m a 49 yr old male who has returned to the pool 2 months ago. I’m up to about 2200 yards/hr workout. I want to eventually compete again in the summer of 2019. I would love some workouts that meet me where I’m at and keep me engaged. Most workouts I’ve viewed on this site are a little too much for me at this point. Would anyone be willing to help me?? Thanks

  • I came back last year from a 6-year break in kind of the same situation. If you want, you can check my workout blog on here, the first few months are mid-2k, low-3k yard, hour long practices. You can ignore the dryland/CrossFit stuff though :P Here's the link to the first page: forums.usms.org/blog.php Now that I look at it, I kind of escalated to 3k/hr pretty quickly.
