I just enlisted in the Navy but I want to get my swimming skills back up to high school level. I was a distance swimmer.. it was only 2 years ago but I haven't been in the water since. Any ideas? I need help with workouts!

Starfire,
Michael has it right. As one who went through Navy boot camp, although it was over 25 years ago, I can tell you that if you were a distance swimmer in high school you'll do fine with any swimming test they'll throw at you while at boot camp. If your strokes are proficeint and you're in reasonable shape you'll do fine. Just take some time and get in the water a few times before you leave to wake up the old swimming muscles.
