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:

Hi there!
I just wanted to say that I am in the same boat. I have been a swim coach forever. I recently stopped so that I could go to medical school. I too have started working out and I am only given 30 min of adult swim at our local pool. I have found that using my zoomers to help me get a little more yardage in has helped. They actually make me work a lot harder with my legs as well. It is fascinatin how much of this sport is mental. The mental workout can sometimes be harder than the actual workout. Best wishes on your quest!
