My daughter is trying to get up the nerve to get back in the pool after her swimming career ended a few years ago. I keep pushing her, but I'm not the one that has to swim the laps.
Just got back from practice. I started back in Oct. of 04 after 30 years. The hardest part is just getting back in and beginning. Begin slow and easy, but stick with it for a couple of weeks and the transition back to competitive swimming is a breeze. Having someone else to swim with is also a big help.
