Trace, you've lost me. What does getting in shape have to do with the question? I'm obviously missing something.
I went back & edited my post to quote Dr. Bill. I could have said, "I grew up swimming and took lessons (which I hated) so go figure that at 37 I'm still going to "swim lessons" by way of my masters team practice," but Bill's post made me think that a workout might be of slight interest as it is related to the topic to help anyone interested in getting back into the water. Many people think you have to swim straight for long distances to work out. Invariably, stroke technique becomes sloppy if you don't have the endurance. It's better to swim shorter distances with correct technique and build up. This is something coached swimmers know. I just thought it might be of use in this thread. If it should be moved the moderators can move it.

Trace you owed no explanation for your post. I indulged the question as I saw how it was related and why you posted it. At this time it will not be moved as I find it related to the original question.
And I too am one of those people who thought you had to swim straight for long distances to work out. I'm glad I now know that is not true.
And more importantly your workout routine is excellent!
