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 had not swam for fitness in almost 30 yrs (since high school). To get started I followed this workout - www.ruthkazez.com/.../ZeroTo1mile.html - and last week I finished it up.
It was perhaps too easy in the beginning, but became more challenging as I progressed. It has done wonders for me cardiovascularly, and I have lost almost 20 pounds.
Looking for some other workouts to start building on this.
