Bill this is the best advice yet takes time use the kick board to get you started. There is no slacking in the pool if you don't keep moving you sink. The other point is you have to make exercise a life style comes first before anything else. This way there are no excuses for not doing it. Also good to have some one else to exercise with or compete against. In the end money Hayabusa's are not must use unless you are healthy and around long enough to use.
If you don't want to swim then walk increasing pace and distance. Don't over do it injuries ultimately cause you to lose fitness and become discouraged. When you think there is nothing left there is always something more.
I used to be exactly the same way. Take it REAL slow to start with in a 25m pool and only do breaststroke. Don't be in a hurry and don't panic. Go as slow as POSSIBLE! If you can do that for 4 laps, that's 100m and you are on your way. Always REST at the end of each lap to catch your breath, cos we are not trying to be professionals here.
Before you know it, you'll be doing 500m to 1000m.
Oh, throe in a kickboard and fins in-between those and you're laughing!
