Hi I am a new swimmer and I have no idea where to start. I would like to start swimming laps and need to know basics. I would like to start out slow so that I do not get discourged. If any one has step by step instruction and photos or know where to get them. I would really appreciate it.

I picked up the book "Fitness Swimming" by Emmett Hines about a month ago and have been using that. There are 6 workout zones and each zone contains ten workouts. I just finished the 7th workout in the first zone and my freestyle form has improved quite a bit. I feel like it was money well spent and I am making progress on improving my swimming ability.
A website some other people have mentioned is the total immersion website. Total Immersion is a very popular program. Here is the link:
