Swimmers- Getting Started Swimming
So, you want to improve your swimming ability or swim competitively, but aren't sure about the next step - or you have taken time off and want to "get back in the swim?" How should you start, and once you do, what next? Here are a few things to keep in mind as you splash through the pool.

Establish a few swimming goals. Set realistic, challenging steps to help you meet your objectives. What do you want to accomplish? Improved fitness? Racing ability? Alternate workout opportunities for cross training? A faster (or easier) first leg for your triathlon? Set goals for each workout; what do you want to get done today?If possible, find a local team, Most pools have a Masters Swim Club.

Besides the help that a little peer pressure provides, it can give you other sources of input as you develop and some social interaction to avoid monotony. If you don't find a team that fits your needs, at least find a pool. You can easily succeed on your own - stay focused on your goals and pack your workout gear the night before - this really helps the "I forgot it" self excuse. If you have a choice, find both an indoor and outdoor pool to prevent interruptions in your routine due to inclimate weather.

AQUATICS TIP:  Fitness Swimming
Similar to running or biking, conditioning for swimming is specific for the distance, duration and speed of the type of swimming you do. Conditioning for swimming is best done in the water. The particular stroke required for the event will be important to practice in order to improve performance. Swimmers can also benefit from strength training.
