I am 45 years old and swim 2 to 3 times per week. I swim for aeobic benefits and general fitness. I do not race and don't feel a need to improve my speed. I only have 30 minutes in the pool for each workout session. Does anyone have ideas on good workouts that are challenging but do not go overboard? Thanks.

I was pretty bad when I started working out again in swimming. And I was a fair swimmer as a kid in age group and high school and community college swimming. There were probably many old folks at the beginning that could beat me that swam laps almost daily. At the health club I'm the best breastroker and probably one of the few that can swim butterfly. There are a few that can beat me at freestyle or stay even. At the public pool where I started doing swimming one a week there because it is 25 yards versus the health club pool at 2o yards I can beat most of the people. There are some that beat me in freestyle and fewer in breastroke.
