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.

Honestly the best way to get back in to competition shape as fast as you can is going to be hiring a trainer and/or a swim coach. It would be a nice challenge to just start getting after it again and having another person there to push you. I know that this is the time of year that a lot of trainers post deals and discounts on pricing and gear because they are looking for extra work. I would highly recommend checking it out.
