I started swimming when I was 9 and quit when i was around 16-17.. Never really got into it; but Im tryin to get back into shape and I HATE RUNNING and i still remember everything that the swim coach taught me
So my question is;
What should I swim, or what routine should I do, to have all my muscles be working and to get that full body workout. Cuz i swam today and was just swimmin freestyle and ***-stoke and Im guessin that if i kept on doin that, only certain muscles are working..
And a random question IM'S ; whats the order to an IM
is it freestyle, backstroke, ***-stroke, butterfly (i forgot):doh:

If you want an easy set that will get everything into the game try a set we call SKIPS => Swim, Kick, IM, Pull, Swim. You can increase the distance as you gain your endurance and strength, but start with 100 SKIPS which would be 100 of each. For the Swim at both ends start with Freestyle, but later on mix in other strokes to keep it interesting. If 100 SKIPS is too light a start then repeat the set or increase the distance. How ever you play it it will bring all your strokes in to play and give you a little variety and a foundation to build on.:2cents:
Whatever you do just keep swimming!
