Okay this morning was the first time that I've swam in 4 years. By swimming I mean have been in water bigger than a hot tub. I have never swam laps before.
I went into YMCA this morning to swim laps, and I thought I might be okay. I swam for about 45 minutes (with 30 seconds rest after every full lap), but it was killing me. I'm sure my stroke or form was way off and innefficent. I was trying to copy the other guys who were there. But I'm a fit guy, and I see these men that weigh 300 lbs+ (mostly fat) being able to swim 3 laps in the time I can swim 1.
Is there any advice that you guys have that can help me with starting to swim?
