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!

Thanks for responding. I really like working out with a team. However, the closest masters team is 50 minutes away and that just ain't gonna happen. Our rec. dept. tried to have a team, but the swimmers involved didn't want to swim as a team. They just wanted someone to write a workout for them. And then they would change the sets because they didn't like "that stroke".
So, I have been trying to swim with a couple of friends. They are faster than me, which is good because I will push myself a bit harder. But our schedules only work every so often. That leaves it up to me.
Thanks again for your suggestions!
