Hey everyone, I just signed up and am new to swimming in a pool (and taking it seriously)! I'm from San Diego and I've surfed all my life, so I love the water, but now I'm living in New York City. There's no surf, and I'm getting fat! I've never really had to work out, except surfing, and I was wondering if there is something I should be doing other than swimming. Could someone maybe give me a few tips for training so I can get into shape before this summer! (my friends and I are going on a month long Caribbean surf trip)! I would really appreciate the help! Thanks

I'll give you some tips if I get to come along on the surf trip. Deal? I'm only kiding ... though that sounds AMAZING!
I'd try and find a team that's your best bet. Look at the USMS homepage (USMS.org) and find a team in your area. Other than that there are some great workouts on this thread. If you haven't swum much focus on drills and getting used to the pool first. Gradually build your endurace.
