I am looking for a good swim workout. I am completly out of shape - I weigh 300 pounds and am 6-2. I am doing weight training right now, but would like to start swimming six days a week. Could anyone offer advice on workouts. I'd be eternally grateful. I'm looking to see results by 8 months.
Thanks,

Keep it simple at first although I am sure most will not agree. Swim long and slow to get fit. When I returned after a long lay off I started with 1000 meters then 2000, then 3000. First it was once a day then twice a day, always take 1 or 2 days off a week. Once you can handle the distance then the work begins. It usually takes 6 weeks to get back into condition to start the hard work.
