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!

As someone getting back in the water after an extended layoff, I have found the workouts a great place to start. They are easily modifiable to your condition level and facilities that are available. Go with your strengths. Personnaly I was a middle distance br/fl person. So, I started by cutting down the distance free stuff, but have slowly added some of that back in. Its amazing how fast you'll build up from doing a 1000 y/m workout to 2000+.
