Well, my kids are now in swimming lessons and I knew I was in trouble the minute I stepped into the pool! I had to get a membership at a gym with a pool and I am back in the water...it feels like home:)
Any suggestions for workouts? I am shocked at how slow I am, I have been working out still just not in the water. It looks like endurance is the biggest issue. My lung capacity is not what it used to be. Ah, I can't wait for my water babies to be trailing me in laps!

Hi! I'm a "newcomer", hitting the pool after about 4yrs of hit and miss trys. Momma of 2 girls over here, 4y/o and 7mo old so i've had my hands full trying to get time to fit in the pool time. Wednesday 9-26 was my first day back and I'm still going strong. I must admit I was super sore the following day, but i'm feeling great now! I've finally accepted that I'm addicted to the smell of chlorine. I swam in college and joined a master's swim team following but found motherhood shortly after college. I also did a little coaching a YMCA swim team for a while in college. I'm planning on joining a master's swim team/club (whatever they are called out here) again cause I know I'm gonna need the accountability. Doing workouts is no problem but i'm always open to suggestions and changing the variety up. Got any good ones out there?
My plan isn't really for competitive, more so for fitness. Swimming is a great workout and I did lose alot of weight in college while swimming so much....or could it be that it was coupled with late study nights and not enough time to eat. I was in nursing school after all.
