I am a 24 year old firefighter from North Carolina and I am looking to get back into swimming. I swam competively for all four years in high school and just never kept up with it after that.
Does anyone have any advice on how to get back into swimming for the purpose of getting back in shape?
Thanks,

I would say, just start swimming again and make sure to not over do it. Try some 50's and 100's and swim relaxed. Every week increase your overall distance by 10% if you are swimming at least 3x's a week. Mentally, refuse to give up and set your ming to rebuilding your endurance, set short and long term goals and write them down, so they will be a constant reminder. Have fun!!
