Just being in the pool is harder work than you might think. I used to swim every day, but now it's been years since I was in a pool. Then I lived in an apartment complex that had a pool. Five minutes and I thought I was dying. It's amazing how hard it is to do things you used to take for granted. When I was 19 I could swim the length of an olympic pool and back, underwater. I could also, sitting still, hold my breath for four minutes.
Start off easy, paddle around, work your way up until you can swim several laps. The strokes involved won't matter; you'll be working very hard.
