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,
I get my workouts from Indyswimfit.com
most of the yardage is 3000-4000. I usually swim by myself and being that I am a distance person by trade I find that I usually add about 1000-2000yds. I swim 3x a week and lift/bike the other 3days...sundays off. I would add some longer sets such once every few weeks like 3x 800 or 2x 1000 just to see how you do and get a feel for swimming the longer stuff....of course people tell me that sprinting has it's place as well :rolleyes: but for now I would concentrate on adding some distance to your practices
