Okay - I hope I can get a little guidance here. I have been an inactive swimmwer for the last 30 years and I miss it so. I want to get back into the "swim" of things. I am 100 lbs overweight and when I get in the water I want to know what to start with and what to do. I guess it will be like starting out as a new swimmer. Does anyone have any workout suggestions? I know it is going to be hard but its time, I have dreamt of this for the last 30 years. I have my pull bouys, my kick board, my fins, my paddles, suit, goggles and cap- I just do't know how or where to start. I always had a coach when I was younger. If anyone could please point me in the right direction I would be greatly appreciative.
Thank You.:drown:

Good luck. I was off for 4 years, and I was swimming between 3-6 times a week for a good two months. Unfortunately, we had a death in the family, and I had a lot of things to deal with for that, so I have been back out for 2 weeks. It feels like a lot longer though.
I am anticipating getting back in the water tomorrow with child like glee.
I was amazed, once I got back in, how easy it was to get back in the swim so to speak.
