there are a lot of great web sites out there that have swim workouts posted, including this web site. I was just like you, been out of the water about 25 years, but am slowly getting back into shape. Look at these sites.

www.swimplan.com Here you get personalized swim plans.
I really like the stronger, faster, longer workouts posted in the workout section here.
Good luck and stay with it. You'll start seeing results pretty fast.
Welcome back.
I started back after almost 20 years out of the water. I joined a masters swim club. There is no way I would push myself like I do with the rest of the team.
I hope you enjoy your time back in the water.

:drown: I am also rejoining competetive swimming after 34 years out of the pool. I will swim the 1500 meters on Fri Dec 7. I though I read somewhere that we can start that distance from in the pool, Is that so?
How's your ankle flexibility?
This is the first area I would train... Increasing the range of motion allows your feet to "hold" more water, changing your body position, and making swimming much easier...
If you're interested I can give you some good dryland exercises to improve ankle flexibility.
