I figured I'd try posting up my workouts from everyone to use as they see fit. Since I was a swimmer for 17 years and a coach for about 5 I figured I'd post up what I'm doing on my "comeback tour" :cheerleader:. I'm just making these workouts up myself to get myself back into enough shape to where I feel comfortable trying to swim with a Masters team.
This is workout #2 (of 4) of the week from last night:

For me too!!! I'm REALLY enjoying swimming at the ripe old age of 37..hehe..( I just read your blog..you are 37 as well..Must be a mid life crisis thing.harhar. I think I'm swimming pretty well...I recently started a Master's team at my local YMCA! We only have 3-5 swimmers but it's enough to keep me happy!!!!
Keep up the great work and thanks for the workout post!
Thanks! My family will be joining our local Y and I'll be splitting some time between the Y and the other pool I'm training at. I've already called the Aquatic director at the Y to ask about Masters. They don't have a team, but she said they have a small group of people that do swim there in the mornings. I still haven't decided whether I want to join a team or just do my own thing and stay UNAT.
