I have come to the conclusion that at 37 I need to start exercising. I want to be healthy and fit and well lose a few. I have always been a swimmer, but I realize that every "break" I take from swimming creates more problems than anticipated. It seems that it takes longer and longer to get back into to "shape". I don't want to win any races right now, I just want to be able to swim 3000 yds without hurling in the gutter (which by the way, my pool does not have).
Any advice for getting back into swim shape? and does this sound familiar to anyone?
Thanks!

When I started (or should I say restarted) swimming, I began by just swimming easy laps. At first just getting to the other end of the pool may seem difficult, but it gets easier. The key is to swim regularly. When you can swim, let's say 1000 yards easily, you might want to think about doing some interval workouts.
