Hi all-
Well I was competitive for 12 yrs. Last time I competed was in 98. I am now 30 yrs old, have three kid (the youngest 7 months old). I am looking into getting back into the water and into shap. Can anyone suggest a good workout for me??
Thanks-

Just start with what you think you can handle. It'll take a while after a 12 year break but it will come back relatively quickly and you'll be able to do more than you thought. Make sure you get a good warm up and then just focus on sets of 50s and 100s at whatever interval you can handle. As your endurance builds, start adding a set of 200s. Then its just train to whatever level you want and adjust sets accordingly. I started back in masters after a 10 year break so you can do it.
