To anybody out there...
I have been out of the water for a long time (years) and would like to get back into a workout routine.
Do any of you have any "getting back in the water" workouts for someone like myself? Any feedback or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Same for me...I was a serious swimmer for most of my youth, and then got out of it for about 12 years...I recently got back in teh water, and to my shock and dismay, the first time out I was done after swimming 14 laps in a 25 yard pool!!!
I gradually picked up strokes, increasing by around 100yds per day, and now I'm doing 2250 in 40 mins...
I think it's getting to be time to step it up again, but we'll see what happens.
My current workout is this, all free, and with 30 sec rest between sets:
1 x 400
2 x 300
3 x 200
4 x 100 (reverse splits)
5 x 50 (sprints)
Any thoughts on this workout?
