Hi,
I was once a swimmer before my depression hit and was placed in a place I could not swim. I was under a lot of medication and got fat from the result. Now I am off all and I feel great and I have a huge desire to lose the weight and get fit again.
Okay, so I am looking for swimming advice. I am six foot two and weigh 260. I am a large build. Please, someone give me advice, I am ready once again.
It is a wonderful feeling : )

Go to a pool. Swim 500 yds (usually 20 lengths). Take your pulse to check your heart rate. Swim another 500 yards or as far as you can go. Get out and stretch.
Come back to the pool tomorrow or the next day. Repeat above, only add 100 yards to your swim.
Do this 10 times, adding 100 yards each time.
