Returning Swimmer questions

Hello, I used to swim competitively between the ages of 6-18 and I was pretty good back then. Now I'm 29 and want to return to competitive swimming. So my question is, does anybody have any suggestions on a good workout to get back into the swim of things, I've gotten a bit out of shape. My second question is what are good times these days? As in, what times should I aim for in a 50yd/100yd freestyle and 50yd backstroke. Right now I can do a 34 second 50 free, what should I aim for to potentially win an event or at least place somewhere in the top 5? Thank you in advance.

    Our Event Rankings page will show you all of the times swum in your age group this year (or any past year). From the www.usms.org home page, mouse over the blue "Competition" tab and select "Event Rankings."
