I am returning to swimming after quite some time off . I have about 45-50 minutes every morning to swim and I am 43 years old. I am looking for some advice or help on developing some solid workouts to get back into shape. My goal is to be part of a team that swims the Trans Tahoe swim next summer. This is my 2nd week back in the pool and I am swimming about 1200 to 1400 yds right now. About a 250 warm up, 8 to 10 100's, and a few 50's at the end. I am trying to build up some endurance. Does anyone have any advice on what path I should continue on or any links to go workout plans?
Thanks,
Parents

Start doing longer swims to build your endurance. If you do at least one long swim per workout, like a 500 to 800 non-stop, you will see an overall improvement in your swimming. Maybe change your 8-10 100's to two 500's at a moderate to fast pace. Also, check out the "workouts forum." There are a lot of good workouts and links to good workouts there. Good luck.
