I began swimming again 12 months ago to get in shape and lose weight (80 lbs). I swam in HS (30 yrs ago). I am now swimming 5 -6 days a week for about 30 minutes. I am looking for some advise on a routine(s) that would get the most out of a workout of this length. I can stretch the routine to 45. I'm down 50 lbs and feeling pretty good, but need some advice on a good routine.
A couple things:
I have some shoulder issues but it seems to be getting stronger.
I currently swim:
- 10 minutes ***
- 10 minutes Kick board/Freestyle mix with fins
- 10 minutes ***/Back mix
I am looking for some suggestions that would give me some options to get a good work squeezed into my busy day, and help me lose my last 30 Lbs.
Thanks for any and all suggestions

I have taken the workouts posted by the coaches here and adapted them to my training time and needs. I actually have 1 hour to swim but including rest intervals I can only swim about 1 mile in an hour (1850 yds.) if I really work on form, include interval training, and drills because I'm a relatively slow swimmer. You didn't say what your yardage is, but I'd be happy to post some of my workouts if you think they might help you.
I have minor shoulder tendonitis and I'm training for a meet in May so my workouts are designed with those two things in mind.
Congratulations on your weight loss! Just let me know if you want me to post them or email them to you.
