After prolonged layoff, re-swimming--discussion on common issues with gaining form

I restarted a couple of months ago after several months and minimal swimming.  My times are off, but besides overall fitness and 'feel for the water' I wondered what others thought were issues they had to work on to resuming swimming and re-gaining form?  This would hopefully help us focus on parts that would quickly help us re-gain form.  Focus for me is free (limited pool time), I feel like my fitness is back as well as being pre-pandemic weight, but my times are still off 3-4 secs/100.  Thanks

    I have been "back" and "forth" (which is, I suppose, the opposite of being "back") so many times I'm getting whiplash.  I'm an American in Canada and we keep whipsawing back and forth between lockdown (e.g., pools closed) and semi-opened (e.g., 1 swimmer per reserved 45 minute lane) that I don't know which way is forward.  All I can say is this ... can't wait until 2022 ;)
