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:

Wow, sounds like alot of us are in the same boat out here. Swam from 3rd grade, all thru high school and three years in college before changing to coaching. Now I'm back after a good 30 years off too.
Lost 25 pounds so far in the last 6 months and have entered my first competition in the Senior Olympics here in the state of Nevada, (55 to 60 age group) in hopes of going to the Nationals next year in San Francisco.
I had almost forgotten how comfortable I felt in the water.
