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:

I also miss the water. Lots or work and being married has kept me out of the pool for a while. I get back in every now and then but its never consitant. I would love to get back into competing again! I am a competative person and miss the thrill of competition. I bought some new swim suits, I think my problem is I don't have a coach pushing me. It can be tough at times when I am in that gym pool all by myself. I can't quiet afford to join a masters team at this time, which I think would help me consistantly working out. That and I seem to have a difficult time getting up early because I have a hard time going to bed at a decent time.
Anyway, good luck to all of you who are thinking about or are getting back into swimming! :wave:
