Getting back into swimming shape

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!

    I have done this slack off start up slack off start up ... cycle many times. What I have found is that a structured workout with a coach works best, the first few practices should be only about 30-40 minutes long, and you have to keep up with it on a regular basis. The pain and soreness do go away after a couple of weeks, you just have to bite the bullet and do it.
